Methylamine, CH3NH2, is a gas that dissolves in water to form an alkaline solution:
CH3NH2(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ CH3NH3+(aq) + OH−(aq)
Polecenie
The base dissociation constant of methylamine at 298 K is Kb = 4.4 × 10−4.
(i) Calculate the concentration of hydroxide ions in a methylamine solution with pH = 11.6. Use sections 1 and 2 of the data booklet.
(ii) Calculate the concentration, in mol dm−3, of methylamine molecules in the solution with pH = 11.6.
(iii) A solution with high concentrations of both CH3NH2 and CH3NH3+ is a buffer because of the equilibrium:
CH3NH3+(aq) ⇌ CH3NH2(aq) + H+(aq)
Use this equilibrium to outline why adding a small volume of strong base hardly changes the pH of the buffer.

(i) [OH−] «» = 10−2.4 = 4.0 × 10−3 «mol dm−3» ✔
(ii) AND [CH3NH3+] = [OH−] ✔
[CH3NH2] «» = 0.036 «mol dm−3» ✔
(iii) «added» OH− reacts with H+ so the equilibrium shifts to the right / CH3NH3+ dissociates to replace the H+ ✔
«as both components are in large excess,» the ratio [CH3NH2] : [CH3NH3+] «and hence [H+] and the pH» is almost unchanged ✔

(i) [1]. (ii) Award [2] for a correct final answer; accept 0.036-0.037 mol dm^-3 and other correct methods. M1: expression for Kb with the two products equal; M2: value. (iii) M1: shift of the equilibrium with the reaction of OH- and H+; M2: ratio of the buffer components almost unchanged. Accept “strong base converted to the weak base / water”.
