Acids & Bases & Equilibrium
Acid- Base Strength & Dissociation Recall: Strong acids and bases dissociate quantitatively (>99.9%) in water Weak acids and bases dissociate partially in water When a weak acid or base is added to water dynamic equilibrium is established
The Acid-Dissociation Constant, K a
Determine the K a of propanoic acid (C 2 H 5 COOH (aq) ) given that a 0.10 mol/L solution has a pH of 2.96
Determine the pH of a mol/L solution of nitrous acid (HNO 2(aq) ). K a = 5.6 X 10 -4
The Base-Ionization Constant, K b
A 5.0 g/L solution of aniline (C 6 H 5 NH 2(aq) ) has a pH of Determine the K b of aniline.
Calculate the pH of a 3.6 X mol/L solution of quinine (C 20 H 24 N 2 O 2(aq). K b = 3.3 X 10 -6
