Question

15. Methylamine is a weak base with the formula, CH3NH2, the Kb for methylamine is 4.38 x 10-4

In aqueous solution, methylamine partially dissociates according to the following reaction:

CH3NH2 + H2O ⇔ CH3NH3+ + OH-

Use the Kb equation to calculate the pH of the aqueous methylamine solution described below:

Volume:  375 mL

Concentration:  0.2570 M

Since this is a weak base, you can assume the amount of base dissociated is << 5% of the total amount of base present.

Report your answer with the correct number of significant digits.
