yes. weak compounds acidity order compare based on Ka and Kb values.
more Ka value more acidic with in comparison in acids
more Kb value more basic with in comparison in bases
in case of comparision with acids and bases Ka and Kb values are compared
if acid Ka > base Kb ------------> acidic nature is dominent
if acid Ka < base Kb --------------> basic nature is dominent
if acid Ka = base Kb ---------------> it is neutral
pKa of acid = -log (1.4 x 10^-5) = 4.85
Kb of CH3COO- = 1.0 x 10^-14 / 1.8 x 10^-5
= 5.56 x 10^-10
pKb = -log Kb
= 9.26
formula in case of weak acid + weak base
pH = 7 + 1/2 [pKa - pKb]
pH = 7 + 1/2 [4.85 - 9.26]
pH = 4.80
pH < 7 . so the salt will be acidic .
Please help? I know the solution will be acidic because Kb of acetate > Ka of...
Which of the following is a correct description for NH4(HCOO) dissolved in water? Kb (NH3) = 1.8 × 10−5 and Ka (HCCOH) = 3.5 × 10−4 A. acidic B. basic C. neutral
solution. 5. (3pts) When NHI dissolves in water it will produce a A. Acidic B. Basic C. Neutral 6. (3pts) When NH F, which is the salt of a weak acid and a weak base, dissolves in water it will produce solution. (K. of NH4 is 5.6 x 100 and Kb of F is 1.4 x 10-11) A. Acidic B. Basic C. Neutral
If I am given the value of either Ka or Kb of a polyprotic acid, how do I know if the compound is acidic or basic in solution? What are the criteria? Could you give an example? Thanks in advance
For the following solutions, i) write the ionization reaction occurring in the solution, (ii) calculate the pH, and (iii) the percent ionization of the acidic or basic ion. (This is NOT the dissociation of the soluble salt!) a) 0.340 M Ni(NO3)2(Ka of Ni(H2O)62+= 1.0x 10-10) b) 0.10 M NH4Cl (Kb of NH3 = 1.8 x 10-5)
2. Calculate the pH of a 0.10 M solution of aluminum chloride, which dissolves completely in water to give the hydrated aluminum ion [Al(H2O).]* in solution. Al3(aq) + H2O + [Al(H2O)]3+(aq) (Al(H20)6]3(aq) + H2O(0) [Al(H20)SOH)2(aq) + H3O(aq) Ka = 1.4 x 10
Calculate the pH of a 0.10 M solution of aluminum chloride, which dissolves completely in water to give the hydrated aluminum ion [Al(H2O)6]3+ in solution. Al3+(aq) + H2O(l) → [Al(H2O)6]3+(aq) [Al(H2O)6]3+(aq) + H2O(l) → [Al(H2O)5OH]2+(aq) + H3O+(aq) Ka = 1.4 x 10-5 Soda water (carbonated water) is a solution of carbon dioxide in water. The solution is acidic because CO2 reacts with water to form carbonic acid, H2CO3. What are [H3O+], [HCO3-], [CO3-2] in a saturated solution of CO2 with...
Find the pH of a 0.132 M NH4Br. Is this solution acidic, basic or neutral? Ka(NH4 + ) = 5.6 x 10-10
The following salts dissociate completely in water. Write chemical equations that show reactions (if any) of the ions with water and decide which of these salts will produce basic,acidic or neutral pH when dissolved in water.: sodium acetate, sodium nitrate, ammonium chloride, ammonium acetate Ka HC2H3O2 = 1.8 x 10-5; Ka NH4+ = 5.62 x 10-10

An aqueous solution is made with the salt obtained from combining the weak acid acetic acid, CH3CO2H, and the weak base methylamine, CH2NH2. Is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral? Ka=1.8×10−5 and Kb=4.4×10−4
