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.

CH3CH2COOH
Draw the Lewis structure of the acid and mark the acidic hydrogen with an asterisk (*).
Draw a Lewis structure of the conjugate base of the acid.
Suppose the acid is neutralized with a strong base.
a) Which of the two structures you drew in 6 and 7 would be the predominant form of the species at a pH well above that at the equivalence point?
b) Which of the two structures would be the predominant form of the species at a very low pH, well below that at the equivalence point and similar to the pH near the start of the titration?
c) At what point in the titration, if any, would there be equal amounts of the two forms?
Percent lonization
Percent ionization for a weak acid (HA) is determined by the following
formula:
Percent ionization =
HA ionized
x 100%
[HA] initial
For strong acids, ionization is nearly complete
(100%) at most concentrations. However, for weak acids, the percent
ionization changes significantly with concentration. The more diluted the
acid is, the greater percent ionization.
A certain weak acid, HA, has a K₂ value of 2.1x10-7.
Part A

We tested for the strength of acids and bases using a conductivity test. Distilled water was used as one of the solutions. the litmus paper and phenolphthalein did not change color. It did not also conduct electricity. Hence it was assumed to be a nonelectrolyte therefore a neutral solution. However, upon searching the internet, it was found that water is not exactly acidic. A pH of 7 at 25°C represents PURE distilled water. Distilled water is considered to be slightly acidic because it absorbed carbon dioxide from the air. The pH of distilled water can range anywhere between 5.5 and 6.9, depending on how long it has been exposed to air. If this is true, then shouldn't the distilled water conduct electricity since acids conduct electricity? Yes or No? please provide an explanation and chemical equation if possible. thank you!arrow_forward
