- pH of Saliva The pH of saliva is normally in the range of
6.4 to 7.0. However, when a person is ill, the person's saliva
becomes more acidic.
(a) When Marco is sick, he tests the pH of his saliva and
finds that it is 5.5. What is the hydrogen ion concentra-
tion of his saliva?
(b) Will the hydrogen ion concentration in Marco's saliva
increase or decrease as he gets better?
(c) After Marco recovers, he tests the pH of his saliva, and it
is 6.5. Was the saliva more acidic or less acidic when he
was sick?

Use an appropriate reaction to justify your answer. In general, as base strength increases, conjugate acid strength decreases. Explain why the conjugate acid of the weak base NH3 is a weak acid. To summarize, the conjugate base of a weak acid is a weak base and the conjugate acid of a weak base is a weak acid (weak gives you weak). Assuming Ka for a monoprotic strong acid is 1 106, calculate Kb for the conjugate base of this strong acid. Why do conjugate bases of strong acids have no basic properties in water? List the conjugate bases of the six common strong acids.

RbOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, and Ba(OH)2. Although not technically correct, the conjugate acid strength of these cations is similar to the conjugate base strength of the strong acids.
