Pyridine is a weak base that is used in the manufacture of pesticides and plastic resins. It is also a component of cigarette smoke. Pyridine ionizes in water as follows: C5H5N+H2O⇌C5H5NH++OH− The pKb of pyridine is 8.75. What is the pH of a 0.335 M solution of pyridine?

Respuesta :

Answer : The pH of the solution is, 9.4

Solution :  Given,

Concentration (c) = 0.025 M

Base dissociation constant = [tex]pK_b=8.75[/tex]

First we have to calculate the value of [tex]K_b[/tex].

The expression used for the calculation of [tex]pK_b[/tex] is,

[tex]pK_b=-\log (K_b)[/tex]

Now put the value of [tex]pK_b[/tex] in this expression, we get:

[tex]8.75=-\log (K_b)[/tex]

[tex]K_b=1.78\times 10^{-9}[/tex]

The given equilibrium reaction is,

                         [tex]C_5H_5N+H_2O\rightleftharpoons C_5H_5NH^++OH^-[/tex]

initially conc.     0.335                    0                0

At eqm.           (0.335-x)                  x                x

Formula used :

[tex]k_b=\frac{[C_5H_5NH^+][OH^-]}{[C_5H_5N]}[/tex]

Now put all the given values in this formula ,we get:

[tex]1.78\times 10^{-9}=\frac{(x)(x)}{(0.335-x)}[/tex]

By solving the terms, we get:

[tex]x=2.4\timees 10^{-5}[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the concentration of hydroxide ion.

[tex][OH^-]=x=2.4\times 10^{-5}M[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

[tex]pOH=-\log [OH^-][/tex]

[tex]pOH=-\log (2.4\times 10^{-5})[/tex]

[tex]pOH=4.6[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the pH.

[tex]pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-4.6\\\\pH=9.4[/tex]

Therefore, the pH of the solution is, 9.4

Answer:

  • The pH of the solution of pyridine is [tex]9.28[/tex]

Explanation:

Given:

The [tex]pKb[/tex]of pyridine is [tex]8.75[/tex]

Step 1 of 3

To find the value of [tex]Kb[/tex]

[tex]$-\log \mathrm{Kb}=8.75$[/tex]

[tex]$K_{b}=1.78 \times 10^{-9}$[/tex]

The given equilibrium reaction is,

[tex]$C_{5} H_{5} N+H_{2} O \rightleftharpoons C_{5} H_{5} N H^{+}+O H^{-}$[/tex]

[tex]I ........0.2.......0.........0\\C........x.....+x.......+x\\E.......0.2-x......+x.......+x[/tex]

Step 2 of 3

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

[tex]$1.78 \times 10^{-9}=\frac{(x)(x)}{(0.2-x)}$[/tex]

By solving, we get:

[tex]x=1.89\times 10^{-5}$[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the concentration of hydroxide ion.

[tex]$\left[O H^{-}\right]=x=1.89 \times 10^{-5} M$[/tex]

Step 3 of 3

Calculate the [tex]$p O H$[/tex]

[tex]$p O H=-\log \left[O H^{-}\right]$[/tex]

[tex]$p O H=-\log \left(1.89 \times 10^{-5}\right)$\\[/tex]

[tex]$p O H=4.72$[/tex]

Calculate the [tex]$\mathrm{pH}$[/tex] value

[tex]$p H+p O H=14$[/tex]

[tex]$p H=14-p O H$[/tex]

[tex]$p H=14-4.72$[/tex]

[tex]$p H=9.28$[/tex]

Therefore, the pH of the solution of pyridine is [tex]9.28[/tex]
