The pH of 0.004 M hydrazine solution is 9.7 . Calculate its ionization constant K_b and pK_b.

Answer»

SOLUTION :WEAK base Hydrazine , `NH_2NH_2` the CALCULATION of `[OH^-]` is ,
pH=9.7 and pH+POH=14
`therefore` pOH=14.0-9.7 = 4.3
`[pOH^-] = -log [OH^-]`=4.3
`therefore log [OH^-]=-4.3 = bar5.7`
`therefore [OH^-]`=Antilog `(bar5.7)=5.012xx10^(-5)` =xM
Calculation of ionization constant `K_b`: Ionic equilibrium of `(NH_2NH_2)` hydrazine solution is as under.
`{:(,NH_2NH_(2(aq))+,H_2O_((l)) hArr, NH_2NH_(3(aq))^(+) + , OH_((aq))^(-)),("At equili." , (0.004-x),M approx x, x M, x M):}`
`therefore K_b=([NH_2NH_3^+][OH^-])/([NH_2NH_2])`
`=((5.012xx10^(-5))(5.012xx10^(-5)))/0.004`
`=6.028xx10^(-7)`
Calculation of `pK_b` :
`pK_b=-log K_b=-log (6.28xx10^(-7))`
=-(0.7980- 7.000)
= 6.020
