1
Q
What is the equation for Ka?
A
[H+ (aq)] x [A- (aq)] / [HA (aq)]
2
Q
What factor affects Ka?
A
Temperature
3
Q
Which equation links Ka and pKa?
A
pKa = -log Ka
4
Q
How would you describe the relationship between Ka and pKa?
A
Inverse
The larger the Ka value, the smaller the pKa value ( both dictate the acid is strong )
