Chapter 13, Problem 165CWP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The major species present in the given $0.67\text{M}$ ${\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_5{\text{NH}}_2$ solution and the $\text{pH}$ of the given solution is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Ethyl amine $\left({\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_5{\text{NH}}_2\right)$ is an electron rich species and acts as a nucleophile. In aqueous solution, Ethyl; amine acts as a weak base dissociating partially and slowly.

To determine: The major species of $0.67\text{M}$ ${\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_5{\text{NH}}_2$ solution.
