Question
100%
The base methylamine (
CH3NH₂) has a
Kb of
5.0 x 10-4. A closely related base, trimethylamine (
(CH3)3N), has a
Kb of
7.4 x 10-5.
a Which of the two bases is stronger?
methylamine
trimethylamine
Correct
Since methylamine has the larger K₁, methylamine is the stronger base.
b Calculate the pH of a 0.38 M solution of the stronger base.
pH =
