(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The pH when methanol will contain equal amount of CH3OH2+ and CH3O ions needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: For a general equilibrium reaction as follows:

  A+BC

The expression for the equilibrium constant can be represented as follows:

  K=[C][A][B]

Here, [A], [B] and [C] are concentrations of A, B and C.

Also, in a solution the pH of the solution can be calculated using the hydrogen ion concentration as follows:

  pH=log[H+]

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The pH of the solution needs to be determined when there is 50% CH3OH and 50 % CH3OH2+ is present.
