Equations

Question 1

Acid/Base Ionization Constant

Answer 1

The strength of an acid.

HA (aq) —> H+ (aq) + A- (aq)

Ka = [A-][H+] / [HA]

Question 2

Ion Product Constant of Water

Answer 2

1.00 * 10^-14

Question 3

pH

Answer 3

Scale of small numbers to specify molar hydronium ion concentration in an aqueous solution.

pH = -log[H3O+]

Question 4

How are pH values interpreted?

Answer 4

Acidic Solution = pH < 7.0
Basic Solution = pH > 7.0
Neutral Solution = pH = 7.0
