Question
In aqueous solution, pyridine (C5H5N) is a weak base that accepts a proton from water to form the hydroxide ion (OH-) and the pyridinium ion (C5H5NH+), according to the
following equation.
C5H5N(aq) + H20(/) = OH (aq) + C5H5NH†(aq)
The base-dissociation constant (Kb) for this base is 1.7x10-9. If the pH of the solution is 9.15, what is the initial concentration of pyridine? (Assume that the temperature is
25°C.)
