) Do you think the pH of 1,0 M tri-methyl ammonium (CH3)3NH+, pKa = 9.80, will be higher or lower than that of 1.0 M phenol, C6H5OH? What is the difference in pH values for the two acids?

1. The pH of 1.0 M trimethyl ammonium (pH = 1.01) is lower than the pH of 0.1 M phenol (5.00).

2. The difference in pH values is 4.95.

Explanation:

1. The pH of a compound can be found using the following equation:

First, we need to find [H₃O⁺] for trimethyl ammonium and for phenol.

Trimethyl ammonium:

We can calculate [H₃O⁺] using the Ka as follows:

(CH₃)₃NH⁺ + H₂O  →  (CH₃)₃N + H₃O⁺    

1.0 - x                               x           x  

By solving the above equation for x we have:  

x = 0.097 = [H₃O⁺]

Phenol:

C₆H₅OH + H₂O → C₆H₅O⁻ + H₃O⁺

1.0 - x                        x             x

Solving the above equation for x we have:

x = 9.96x10⁻⁶ = [H₃O⁺]

Hence, the pH of 1.0 M trimethyl ammonium is lower than the pH of 0.1 M phenol.

2. The difference in pH values for the two acids is:

Therefore, the difference in pH values is 4.95.

I hope it helps you!
