What is the value of `K_a` such that `K_a` for an acid is equal to `K_b` for its conjugate base at `25^@C` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the value of \( K_a \) such that \( K_a \) for an acid is equal to \( K_b \) for its conjugate base at \( 25^\circ C \), we can use the relationship between \( K_a \), \( K_b \), and the ion product of water (\( K_w \)). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Relationship**: The relationship between the acid dissociation constant (\( K_a \)) and the base dissociation constant (\( K_b \)) for a conjugate acid-base pair is given by the equation: \[ K_a \times K_b = K_w ...

The dissociation of weak electrolyte (a weak base or weak acid) id expressed in terms of Ostwald dilution law. An acid is a substance which furnishes a proton or accepts an electron pair whereas a base is proton acceptor or electron pair donor. Storonger is the acid weaker is its conjugate base. The dissociation constants of an acid (K_(a)) and its conjugate base are related by (K_(w)=K_(a)xxK_(b) , where K_(w) is ionic prodcut of water equal to 10-14 at 25^(@) C.
