The ionization constant of dimethylamine is 5.4 x 10-4. Calculate its degree of ionization in its 0.02 M solution. What percentage of dimethylamine is ionized if the solution is also 0.1 M in NaOH?
Kb = 5.4x10-4
c = 0.02M
Now, if 0.1 M of NaOH is added to the solution, then NaOH (being a strong base) undergoes complete ionization.
NaOH(aq) ↔ Na+(aq) + OH- (aq)
0.1M 0.1M
and
(CH3)2 NH + H2O ↔ (CH3)2 NH+2 + O-H
0.02-x x x
Then (CH3)2 NH+2 = x
[OH-] = x + 0.1 ; 0.1
⇒ Kb = [(CH3)2 NH+2 ] [OH-] / [CH3)2 NH]
5.4x10-4 = x x 0.1 / 0.02
x = 0.0054
It means that in the presence of 0.1 M NaOH, 0.54% of dimethylamine will get dissociated.
