Consider the weak bases below and their Kb values:
\begin{alignedat}{} &C_6H_7O &&K_b = 1.3\times10^{-10}\\ &C_2H_5NH_2 &&K_b = 5.6\times10^{-4}\\ &C_5H_5N &&K_b = 1.7\times10^{-9} \end{alignedat}
Arrange the conjugate acids of these weak bases in order of increasing acid strength.

CH3NH3 is a weak base. When mixed with water, we see the following reaction:
CH3NH3 + H2O <----> CH3NH4+ + OH-
Once the reaction reaches equilibrium, Kb was found to be 1.07 x 10-3. If the reaction at equilibrium contains 2.5 M CH3NH3 and 0.37 M CH3NH4+, how much OH- is in solution?
Consider the following reaction in water:
NaOH <----> Na+ + OH-
This reaction has a Kb of 1 x 10-10 and a pOH of 3. If there is 1 M of NaOH at equilibrium, what is the concentration of Na+ in solution?
An aqueous solution only contains a 0.050 M in a weak base. Which of the following statements would be true about the solution?

Ammonia(NH3) is a weak base, Kb = 1.8 x 10-5 and benzoic acid (C6H5CH2O-) is a weak acid, Ka = 6.3 x 10-5. A solution of ammonium benzoate (NH4)(C6H5CH2O-) is:
To 150 mL of water was added 0.18 moles of ammonia (NH3 Kb= 2.3 x 10-5) calculate the pH.
Triemethylamine (N(CH3)3) is a base (pKb=4.19) used in a variety of organic reactions. It can also be used as an effective Lewis base due to it's small steric profile.
if a solution of [N(CH3)3H]2[SO4]is dissolved in neutral water the pH will be,
