Answered

Dimethylamine, (ch3)2nh, has a kb value of 5. 4 x 10–4. In a 1. 2 m solution of dimethylamine at 25˚c what is the concentration of h3o+?.

Answer :

From the information available in the question, the concentration of H3O^+ is 4 × 10^-13 M.

What is equilibrium constant?

The equilibrium constant is a value that shows the extent to which reactants are converted to products.

We can set up the ICE table as follows;

    (CH3)2NH(aq) + H2O(l) ⇄ (CH3)2NH2+(aq) + OH^-(aq)

I       1.2                                       0                            0

C    - x                                          +x                            +x

E   1.2 - x                                      x                               x

Given that Kb = [ (CH3)2NH2+] [OH^-]/[(CH3)2NH]

5.4 x 10–4 = [x]^2/ 1.2 - x

5.4 x 10–4 (1.2 - x) = [x]^2

6.48 × 10^-4 - 5.4 × 10^-4x = x^2

x^2 + 5.4 × 10^-4x - 6.48 × 10^-4= 0

x=0.025 M

Now;

[OH^-] [H3O^+] = 1 × 10^-14

[H3O^+] = 1 × 10^-14/[OH^-]

[H3O^+] = 1 × 10^-14/0.025 M

[H3O^+] = 4 × 10^-13 M
