Question
Chapter 2.9, Problem 16P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The pKa of HCN is given. Its Ka is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
pKa is defined as negative common logarithm of the Ka values.
pKa=-logKa
By substituting the pKa value in this equation the value of Ka can be calculated.
To calculate:
The Ka value of HCN from its pKa value.
