Question

A buffer solution contains dissolved C₆H₅NH₂ and C₆H₅NH₃Cl. The initial concentration of C₆H₅NH₂ is 0.50 M and the pH of the buffer is 4.20. Determine the concentration of C₆H₅NH₃⁺ in the solution. The value of Kb for C₆H₅NH₂ is 3.8 × 10⁻¹⁰.

Let x equal the original concentration of C₆H₅NH₃⁺ in the water. Based on the values given, set up an ice table to determine the unknown.

Based on the ice table, set up the expression of Kb in order to determine the unknown. Do not simplify or combine terms.

Based on the ice table and kb expression, determine the original concentration of C₆H₅NH₃⁺.
