How to calculate initial concentration

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the initial concentration of methylamine (CH3NH2), the moles of hydrochloric acid (HCl) used in the titration were calculated as 0.1 mol/dm^3 multiplied by 0.025 dm^3, resulting in 0.0025 moles. The initial concentration of CH3NH2 was then determined by dividing the moles of HCl by the volume of the methylamine solution (0.05 dm^3), yielding a concentration of 0.05 mol/dm^3. It's noted that the endpoint of the titration occurred at 25 mL of added acid. Additionally, including units in calculations is recommended for clarity. Overall, the approach to solving the problem appears to be on the right track.

Homework Statement


A known mass of methylamine, CH3NH2, was dissolved in water at 25 celsius

50.0 cm^3 of this solution was taken and titrated with 1.00x10^-1 mol dm^-3 hydrochloric acid solution, HCL(aq). The change in pH as an increasing volume of hydrochloric acid was added is shown in the graph below: (Didn't scan the graph)

Homework Equations


These are the equations I think are relevant.
n=m/Mr
n=cv

The Attempt at a Solution


I'm quite lost at what to do from here so help would be appreciated.

Is this right? If so, I'm ashamed of meself.

moles HCl=0.1x0.025=0.0025
Initial concentration CH3NH2=0.0025/0.05=0.05
 
your working seems correct, given that the endpoint of the titration was at 25 mL added acid. Remember that we do not have access to the unscanned pH curve for the titration.

The other point that I would take issue with is that it would be a good idea to show a few units in your answer, and maybe even in your working.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
