Chapter 3, Problem 3.17P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The pKb of acetate, CH3CO2 is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Dissociation constant Ka is used to measure the strength of a Brønsted acid. There is an inverse relationship between the acidity of a Brønsted acid and its pKa value. Higher the value of pKa, weaker is the acid.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why an aqueous solution of acetic acid has an acidic pH, whereas an aqueous solution of sodium acetate has a basic pH is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Dissociation constant Ka is used to measure the strength of a Brønsted acid. There is an inverse relationship between the acidity of a Brønsted acid and its pKa value. Higher the value of pKa, weaker is the acid.
