Answer #1

CH3NH3I is a salt of weak base CH3NH2 and strong acid HI.

pKb of CH3NH2 = 10.66

CH3NH3I will hydrolyze in solution and resulting solution will be acidic.

CH3NH3I = CH3NH3+ + I-

CH3NH3+ + H2O = CH3NH2 + H3+

pH of such solution = 0.5(pKw - pKb - logC)

= 0.5(14 - 10.66 - log 0.17)

= 1.28
