Q

The stronger the acid the _______ the Ka value and the _______ the pKa

A

Larger
Smaller

17
Q

The weaker the acid the _______ the Ka value and the _______ the pKa

A

Smaller
Larger

18
Q

What do the further dissociations of weak dibasic and tribasic acids result in?

A

Latter dissociations being weak acids and pKa gets larger

19
Q

What are the two assumptions when calculating pH in weak acids?

A

1) [H+]eqm = [A-]eqm (assumes dissociation of water is negligible)
2) [HA]eqm = [HA]start (assumes [HA] is > than [H+]eqm)

20
Q

How can the Ka expression be simplified for WEAK ACIDS?

A

Ka = [H+]2 / [HA]

21
Q

What is the equation, value and units of Kw?

A

Kw = [H+] [OH-] = 1.00 x 10-14 mol2 dm-6
