The awful odor of dead fish is due mostly to trimethylamine, \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{N},\) one of three compounds related to ammonia in which methyl groups replace one, two, or all three of the \(\mathrm{H}\) atoms in ammonia. a. The \(K_{\mathrm{b}}\) of trimethylamine \(\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{N}\right]\) is \(6.5 \times\) \(10^{-5}\) at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\) Calculate the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of \(3.00 \times 10^{-4} M\) trimethylamine. b. The \(K_{\mathrm{b}}\) of methylamine \(\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right) \mathrm{NH}_{2}\right]\) is \(4.4 \times 10^{-4}\) at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\) Calculate the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of \(2.88 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M}\) methylamine. "c. The \(K_{\mathrm{b}}\) of dimethylamine \(\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{NH}\right]\) is \(5.9 \times 10^{-4}\) at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\) What concentration of dimethylamine is needed for the solution to have the same \(\mathrm{pH}\) as the solution in part b?
What is the pH of \(0.75 M \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} ?\)
Why is it unnecessary to publish tables of \(K_{\mathrm{b}}\) values of the conjugate bases of weak acids whose \(K_{\mathrm{a}}\) values are known?
What is the concentration of \(\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}\) ions in \(0.65 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{HNO}_{3} ?\)
Identify the conjugate acid of each of the following species: \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{N}, \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}^{-}, \mathrm{HSO}_{4}^{-},\) and \(\mathrm{OH}^{-}\)
