ka
pKa tells us about _____ of acid/ base
strength
_______ Ka (stronger acid)
higher
pKa is _______ property substance
intrinsic
pH is property of ______-
solution
At pH < pKa, will be mostly ______
protonated
At pH > pKa, will be mostly
deprotonated
What is the equation for pH?
pH= -log10 [H+]
How do you calculate Ka?
[ product A] [product B]/ [reactant A]
What is the equation for percent dissociation?
amount dissociated / initial concentration
What is the equation for Kw?
Ka(Kb)= 14
What is the value of Kw?
1 x 10^-14
What cations will not have an affect on the pH?
Na+, K+, Ca ^2+
All alaki and alkaline metals
Why do other metal ions generally cause a decrease in pH?
Because they form a complex with water which makes it more acidic
An anion that is the conjugate base of _______ acid will not affect the pH
strong
