Here are the solutions for parts (a), (b), and (c) of Question 2.

The titration involves a weak base, triethylamine (BB), with a strong acid, HClHCl.
The reaction is: B(aq)+H+(aq)→BH+(aq)B(aq) + H^+(aq) \to BH^+(aq)
Given:
Initial volume of weak base = 20.00 mL = 0.02000 L
Initial concentration of weak base = 0.1000 M
Initial moles of weak base = 0.02000 L×0.1000 M=0.002000 mol0.02000 \text{ L} \times 0.1000 \text{ M} = 0.002000 \text{ mol}
Concentration of titrant (HClHCl) = 0.1000 M
KbK_b of base = 5.2×10−45.2 \times 10^{-4}
pKb=−log⁡(5.2×10−4)≈3.284pK_b = -\log(5.2 \times 10^{-4}) \approx 3.284

Part (a): Find the pH during the titration.

i. 0.00 mL HCl added:
This is a solution of a weak base.
The equilibrium is: B(aq)+H2O(l)⇌BH+(aq)+OH−(aq)B(aq) + H_2O(l) \rightleftharpoons BH^+(aq) + OH^-(aq)
Let [OH−]=x[OH^-] = x.

Kb=[BH+][OH−][B]K_b = \frac{[BH^+][OH^-]}{[B]} 5.2×10−4=x20.1000−x5.2 \times 10^{-4} = \frac{x^2}{0.1000 - x}

Using the quadratic formula (x2+(5.2×10−4)x−(5.2×10−5)=0x^2 + (5.2 \times 10^{-4})x - (5.2 \times 10^{-5}) = 0):

x=−5.2×10−4+(5.2×10−4)2−4(1)(−5.2×10−5)2x = \frac{-5.2 \times 10^{-4} + \sqrt{(5.2 \times 10^{-4})^2 - 4(1)(-5.2 \times 10^{-5})}}{2} x=−5.2×10−4+2.704×10−7+2.08×10−42x = \frac{-5.2 \times 10^{-4} + \sqrt{2.704 \times 10^{-7} + 2.08 \times 10^{-4}}}{2} x=−5.2×10−4+2.082704×10−42x = \frac{-5.2 \times 10^{-4} + \sqrt{2.082704 \times 10^{-4}}}{2} x=−5.2×10−4+0.014432=0.006955 Mx = \frac{-5.2 \times 10^{-4} + 0.01443}{2} = 0.006955 \text{ M}

So, [OH−]=0.006955[OH^-] = 0.006955 M.

pOH=−log⁡(0.006955)≈2.1578pOH = -\log(0.006955) \approx 2.1578 pH=14−pOH=14−2.1578=11.8422pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.1578 = 11.8422

The pH is $\boxed{11.
