Explanation / Answer

Kb=[HNX3+][OH-]/[NX3]

Kb for NX3 is 1.5*10^-6


initial conc of NX3, HNX3,OH- are 0.175 ,x,x,

final conc are 0.175-x,x,x


kb=x2/0.175-x

1.5 * 10-6=x2/0.175-x

x=0.512 x 10-3 M


pOH=-log(OH-)

=-logx

=-log ( 0.512 * 10-3)

pOH =3.29



Part B



Kb=x2/0.325-x

1.5 * 10-6=x2/0.325-x

x=0.70 x 10-3 M


percentage ionization = ( 0.0007/0.325) x 100

= 0.215 %




Given Kb=1.5 x 10-6


we know that Ka=Kw/kb

=10-14/(1,5 x 10-6)

=6.67 x 10-9


pKa=-logka

=-log ( 6.67 x 10-9)

pKa=8.17
