原帖由 dolphin_ice 於 1/3/2008 10:47 AM 發表 Kw = Ka‧Kb 呢條未學過, but maybe it's because I used other sorts of symbols instead. Symbols in formulae do change from places to places. Ka=conc of acid? Kb= conc of base? Kw <--Is that to do with water? Is this formula the one for using water to calculate the pH of weak bases? Calculations below drop off [H2O] because they are insignificant here. For the Kw questions: Kw is actually a constant (Kw = 1.0 * 10^-14 at 25C), namely ion-product constant or dissociation constant of water. 看不到下圖按我
Kw = Ka‧Kb can be applied to everywhere. For example, you want to find the equilibrium constant for the following reaction:看不到下圖按我
However, in most references, only the Ka value of ethanoic acid is given. Using Kw = Ka‧Kb allows you do find the answer.看不到下圖按我
After obtaining Kb, you can determine concentration and whatever related things. Ka is a equilibriumconstantat constant temperature that can be used to determine the concentration of acid or vice versa. Equilibrium constants are customarily madeno unit. (I don't know if your teacher wants the unit, but equilibrium constants actually just determine therelative ratioof reactivities(product and reactant). Butconcentration must has a unit, which is usually "molarity(M)" in chemistry. Using the above example( ethanoate + water ) the Kbdetermined is 5.6 * 10^-10, if we are given that the initial concentration of ethanoate salt solution is 1.00M and you are required to find the concentration of each species in the solution (except water) at equilibrium.

significant figures方面,美國的chem 有自己一套的方法,不是次次都3 sig. fig., 看到不是3 sig. fig.的話不要來打偶 [ 本帖最後由 fish 於 1/3/2008 11:58 AM 編輯 ] |
