A diamine is a compound that contains two amino groups and can accept two protons since each nitrogen in the compound can accept a proton. Propylenediamine (1-2-Diaminopropane), H2NC3H6NH2, is an example of a diamine:

H2NC3H6NH2(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ H3NC3H6NH2+(aq) + OH(aq)          Kb1 = 6.61×10−5

H3NC3H6NH2+(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ H3NC3H6NH32+(aq) + OH(aq)       Kb2 = 4.07×10−8

Determine the pH of the solution after the addition of the following volumes of 0.300 M HCl to 30.0 mL of 0.200 M propylenediamine.

(i) 0 mL

(ii) 10.0 mL

(iii) 20.0 mL

(iv) 30.0 mL

(v) 40.0 mL

(vi) 50.0 mL
