Chapter 18, Problem 18.106P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ${\text{K}}_{\text{b}}$ of acetate ion has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The ${\text{K}}_a$ and ${\text{K}}_{\text{b}}$ value is calculating by using following formula,

  ${\text{K}}_{\text{w}}{\text{ = K}}_{\text{a}}{\text{ × K}}_{\text{b}}$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ${\text{K}}_a$ of anilinium ion (${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}{\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}^{\text{+}}$) has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The ${\text{K}}_a$ and ${\text{K}}_{\text{b}}$ value is calculating by using following formula,

  ${\text{K}}_{\text{w}}{\text{ = K}}_{\text{a}}{\text{ × K}}_{\text{b}}$
