Question:
Methylamine, CH3NH2, is a weak base used as a building block for some pharmaceuticals. If you prepare an aqueous solution of methylamine for use in a synthesis, you might need to know its pH to avoid unwanted side reactions. Calculate the pH and percentage protonation of a 0.20 m aqueous solution of methylamine at 25°C. The Kb for CH3NH2 is 3.6 * 10–4.
ANTICIPATE Because methylamine is a weak base (like all amines), you should expect pH > 7 and only a small percentage protonation.
PLAN Proceed as in Toolbox 6D.2.
