You have a choice in solving for x. The first method would require the quadratic equa-
tion—not a good idea because compared to the magnitude of 0.250, the value of xis negli-
gible. If you used the quadratic, you would be wasting time. The second method would
assume that [C 2 H 5 NH 2 ] remains constant at 0.250 M; 5.6 × 10 –4= x^2 / 0.250.
x = [OH–] = 0.012 M
By the way, the 65.987 mL is not needed because concentration is independent of the
amount of solution measured.
(b) Restatement: Find pOH of solution.
pOH = −log [OH–]
pOH = −log [0.012] = 1.92
(c) Restatement: Find % ionization of ethylamine

(d) Given: 15.000 g C 2 H 5 NH 3 Br + 250.00 mL 0.100 M C 2 H 5 NH 2
Restatement: Find pH of solution.
Step 1:Note that when C 2 H 5 NH 3 Br dissolves in water, it dissociates into C 2 H 5 NH 3 +
and Br–. Furthermore, C 2 H 5 NH 3 +is a weak acid.
Step 2:Rewrite the balanced equation at equilibrium for the reaction.
C H NH 25 3 DC H NH 25 2 +H
- Step 3: Write the equilibrium expression.
