Question: A 0.239-g sample of unknown organic base is dissolved in water and titrated with a 0.135 M hydrochloric acid solution. After the addition of 18.35

A 0.239-g sample of unknown organic base is dissolved in water and titrated with a 0.135 M hydrochloric acid solution. After the addition of 18.35 mL of acid, a pH of 10.73 is recorded. The equivalence point is reached when a total of 39.24 mL of HCl is added. The base and acid combine in a 1:1 ratio.
a. What is the molar mass of the organic base?
b. What is the Kb value for the base? The Kb value could have been determined very easily if a pH measurement had been made after the addition of 19.62 mL of HCl. Why?
