Bases and Group 1A

Neutral Amines are considered weak bases.&#160;

In the case of very weak acids, 3H3O+ 4 from the dissociation 
of water is significant compared with 3H3O+ 4 
from the dissociation of the weak acid. The sugar substitute 
saccharin 1C7H5NO3S2, for example, is a very weak 
acid having Ka = 2.1 * 10-12 and a solubility in water of 
348 mg/100 mL. Calculate 3H3O+ 4 in a saturated solution 
of saccharin. (Hint: Equilibrium equations for the dissociation 
of saccharin and water must be solved simultaneously.)
