Dissociation contants Flashcards
1
Q
What do the values in the Ka formula stand for?
A
Ka- Dissociation constant of an acid
H+- Conjugate base
A–Conjugate acid
HA- Acid
2
Q
What does a larger Ka/Kb mean?
A
The larger the value the more the acid/base dissociates making it a stronger acid/base
3
Q
What does a larger Ka/Kb mean in terms of it’s conjugate base?
A
The conjugate acid/base will be small and weak
4
Q
What is the formula for pKa?
A
pKa=-log10[Ka]
