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.

I dont understand why certain acids are stonger/how to tell. Its #67 in the texbook of CH. 16 and Im not sure how to approach reasoning why a certain acid might be considered stronger just given the formula.
On a shelf in the lab storeroom marked “Solutions of Acids”, a bottle has a torn label. All that can be seen on the label is the concentration: 643 x 10-3 M, not the name of the acid. In trying to find the identity of the acid, you measure the pH of this solution and find it to be 3.382.
Of the acids listed on the chart of Acid Dissociation Constants (attached), WHICH ACID could this be?
There is only one correct answer. Hint: Use the given information to find Ka. Use all sig figs in the pH.
(a) Given that Ka for acetic acid is 1.8 x 10-5 and that hypochlorous acid is 3.0 x10-8 , which is a stronger acid?
(b) Which is the stronger base, the acetate ion or the hypochlorite ion?
(c) calculate the Kb values for the CHCOO- and ClO- .

K(experiment)arrow_forwardConjugate acid of any base is defined as the species formed when the base accepts a proton. And the conjugate base of any acid is defined as the species formed when the base donates a proton. Hence in the conjugate acid-base pair, there will be a difference of 1 proton only. In the above reaction, the base NH3 is accepting a proton from the acid HF to form + NH4* ions. Hence NH3/NH4* is a conjugate acid-base pair. And the acid HF is donating a proton to form the conjugate base F. Hence HF/F is a conjugate acid-base pair. Hence the answer is NH3/NH4* & HF/F".
