Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 11ALQ
Acids and bases can be thought of as chemical opposites (acids are proton donors, and bases are proton acceptors). Therefore, one might think that Ka = 1/Kb. Why isn’t this the case? What is the relationship between Ka and Kb? Prove it with a derivation.

The next step is the rapid reaction of the carbocation intermediate with the nucleophile; this step completes the nucleophilic substitution stage. The step that follows the nucleophilic substitution is a fast acid-base reaction. The nucleophile now acts as a base to remove the proton from the oxonium ion from the previous step, to give the observed product.
