Explanation / Answer

Titration of weak base (aziridine) with strong acid (HNO3)

pKa of aziridinium = 8.04

pKb = 14 - 8.04 = 5.96

Kb = 1.1 x 10^-6

(a) 0 ml HNO3 added

[aziridine] = 0.0750 M

aziridine + H2O <==> aziridineH+ + OH-

let x amount has reacted

Kb = [aziridineH+][OH-]/[aziridine]

1.1 x 10^-6 = x^2/0.0750

x = [OH-] = 2.87 x 10^-4 M

pOH = -log(2.87 x 10^-4) = 3.54

pH = 14 - 3.54 = 10.46

(b) after 9.94 ml HNO3 added

initial aziridine = 0.0750 M x 50 ml = 3.75 mmol

added HNO3 = 0.0557 M x 9.94 ml = 0.554 mmol

(aziridinium) formed = 0.554 mmol

(aziridine) remained = 3.196 mmol

pH = pKa + log(aziridine/aziridinium)

     = 8.04 + log(3.196/0.554)

     = 8.80

(c) at 1/2 equivalence point

[azirindine] remained = [aziridium] formed

pH = pKa = 8.04

(d) 63.6 ml HNO3 added

initial aziridine = 0.0750 M x 50 ml = 3.75 mmol

added HNO3 = 0.0557 M x 63.6 ml = 3.542 mmol

(aziridinium) formed = 3.542 mmol

(aziridine) remained = 0.208 mmol

pH = pKa + log(aziridine/aziridinium)

     = 8.04 + log(0.208/3.542)

     = 6.81

(e) at equivalence point

volume HNO3 added = 3.75 mmol/0.0557 M = 67.325 ml

[aziridinium] formed = 3.75 mmol/(67.325 + 50) ml = 0.032 M

aziridnium + H2O <==> aziridine + H3O+

let x amount reacted

Ka = [aziridine][H3O+]/[aziridinium]

9.12 x 10^-9 = x^2/0.032

x = [H3O+] = 1.71 x 10^-5 M

pH = -log(1.71 x 10^-5) = 4.77

(f) 71.5 ml HNO3 added

excess [HNO3] = 0.0557 M x (71.5 - 67.325) ml = 0.0133 M

pH = -log(0.0133) = 1.87
