Pyridine, C5H5N, (Kb = 1.5 x 10-9) is an organic base, used in the synthesis of vitamins, drugs, and fungicides. Calculate the pH of an aqueous solution, having 1.25 grams of pyridine in 125 mL solution.
Added by Carson C.
Step 1
First, we need to find the concentration of pyridine in the solution. To do this, we need to find the moles of pyridine and divide it by the volume of the solution in liters. Show more…

Calculate the $\mathrm{pH}$ for each of the following solutions at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ : (a) $0.10 M \mathrm{NH}_{3},$ (b) $0.050 M \mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{N}$ (pyridine). $(K_{\mathrm{b}}$ for pyridine $=1.7 \times 10^{-9}$.)
Pyridine is a weak organic base and readily forms a salt with hydrochloric acid. $\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{N}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{HCl}(\mathrm{aq}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{NH}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})$ pyridine $\quad$ pyridinium ion What is the $\mathrm{pH}$ of a $0.025 \mathrm{M}$ solution of pyridinium hydrochloride, $\left[\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{NH}^{+}\right] \mathrm{Cl}^{-} ?$
The Kb of hydroxylamine, NH2OH, is 1.10 * 10-8. A buffer solution is prepared by mixing 100.0 mL of a 0.36 M hydroxylamine solution with 50.0 mL of a 0.26 M HCl solution. Determine the pH of the resulting solution.
