### Solving the pH of a 0.10 M Aqueous Solution of a Weak Base B

To determine the pH of a 0.10 M aqueous solution of the weak base B, follow these steps and fill in the blanks in the table and equilibrium expression without ignoring \( x \).

#### Equilibrium Expression

- **B(aq)**: The concentration of the weak base in aqueous solution.
- **H₂O(l)**: Water, the solvent, playing its usual role in dissociation.
- **HB⁺(aq)**: The conjugate acid of the weak base after gaining a proton.
- **OH⁻(aq)**: Hydroxide ion, indicating the basic nature of the solution.

### Table of Concentrations (M)

Below is the general table format to be filled out, showing the relationships between initial concentrations, changes, and equilibrium concentrations.

|         | B(aq)      | + | H₂O(l) | ⇌ | HB⁺(aq) | + | OH⁻(aq) |
|---------|------------|---|--------|---|---------|---|----------|
| **Initial**    | [Blank 1] |   |        |   | [Blank 2] |   | [Blank 3] |
| **Change**  | [Blank 4] |   |        |   | [Blank 5] |   | [Blank 6] |
| **Equilibrium** | [Blank 7] |   |        |   | [Blank 8] |   | [Blank 9] |

### Equilibrium Constant Expression

\[ K_b = \frac{[HB^+][OH^-]}{[B]} \]

\[ pH = - \log [ x ] \]

### Explanation of the Blanks 

- Fill in the blank values using the principles of chemical equilibrium where initial concentrations decrease or increase by a factor denoted as \( x \).

### Instructions for Filling the Table

1. **Identify initial concentrations:**
   - Initial concentration of \( B \): 0.10 M (Blank 1).
   - \( H₂O \) is not normally included in the expression as its concentration is large and constant (thus not provided).
   - Initial concentrations of \( HB^+ \) and \( OH^- \) are zero before dissociation starts (Blank 2 and Blank 3).
