Explanation / Answer

millimoles of pyridine = 25 x 0.240 = 6

kb= 1.7x10^-9

pKb = -logKb = -log (1.7x10^-9) = 8.77

a) before the addition of any HBr

pOH = 1/2 [pKb -logC] = 1/2 [8.77 -log0.240] = 4.70

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 9.30

b) after the addition of 12.5 mL HBr

it is half equivalence point . so

pOH = pKb

pOH = 8.77

pH +pOH =14

pH = 5.23

c) after the addition of 23 mL HBr

millimoles of acid = 23 x 0.24 = 5.52

C6H5N + HBr ----------------------> C6H5NH+Br-

6         5.52                          0

0.48            0                                5.52

pH = pKa + log (0.48 /5.52)

pH = 4.17

d) after the addition of 25 mL HBr

millimoles of HBr = 25 x0.24 = 6

it is equivalence point only salt is formed

salt millimoles = 6

salt concentration = millimoles / total volume = 6 / (25+25) = 0.06 M

salt is from strong acid weak base so pH <7

pH = 7 -1/2 [pKb + logC]

pH = 7 - 1/2 [8.77 + log 0.06]

pH = 3.23

e) after the addition of 29 mL HBr

millimoles of HBr = 29 x 0.24 = 6.96

pH = 1.75
