Explanation / Answer

First, estimate the toal volume required to neutralize this diprotic base

Vtotal = 14 mL

then

first protonation = 14/2 = 7 mL

which means

half equivalnece point (1st proton) = 7/2 = 3.5 mL

pH at V = 3.5 mL,

pH = 10.19

pOH = pKb

pOH = 14-10.19= 3.81

pKb1 = 3.81

NOW

second half point:

7+3.5 = 10.5 mL

pH at V = 10.5 approx (6.82+6.57)/2 = 6.69

pOH = 14-6.69 = 7.31

pKb2 = 7.31

Now that we calculated all of them:

pKb1 --> 3.81 at V = 3 mL

pKb2 --> 7.31 at V = 10.5 mL

midpoints --> V = 3 mL; V = 10.5 mL

equivelnece point 1 --> 7 mL

equivelnece point 2 ---> 14 mL
