Given that Ka for HBrO is 2.8 × 10-9 at 25 °C, what is the value of Kb for BrO– at 25 °C?
Given that Kb for (CH3)3N is 6.3 × 10-5 at 25 °C, what is the value of Ka for (CH3)3NH at 25 °C?
Solution:
So calculate value of BrO-, We use ionic product of water.
Kw = 1.0 E-14
Value of ka and kb for its conjugate base is related by following expression.
Ka x kb = 1.0 E-14
We know the ka and by using it we can get the value of kb of its conjugate base.
Kb = 1.0 E-14 / ka
=1.0 E-14 / 2.8E-9
=3.57 E-6
b)
calculation of ka of (CH3)3NH
We use same expression to calculate the value of kb
Ka = 1.0 E-14 / 6.3 E-5
= 1.59 E-10
