Determine the pH of a buffer which is a 0.20 M solution of trimethylamine (N(CH3)3) and a 0.40 M solution of trimethylammonium chloride (NH(CH3)3Cl). The Kb of trimethylamine at 25°C is 6.3x10-5.

pH of the buffer is 10.10

Explanation:

trimethylamine is a weak base that, in presence with its conjugate base, trimethylammonium ion, produce a buffer.

To determine the pH of the buffer we use H-H equation for weak bases:

pOH = pKb + log [Conjugate acid] / [Weak base]

pKb is -log Kb = 4.20

pOH = 4.20 + log [N(CH₃)₃] / [NH(CH₃)₃]

Replacing the concentrations of the problem:

pOH = 4.20 + log [0.20M] / [0.40M]

pOH = 3.90

As pH = 14 -pOH

for step 7 table c on the lab "newtons law of action"   the average time it took the car to travel .25 meters   was 1.92 seconds.

the average time it took the car to travel 0.50 meters was 2.61 seconds

hope this : )
