Title: WebStraw: Chemistry Review Anki Deck / Acid-Base Equilibrium / 3. Ka and Kb

Q: General form for the dissociation of a weak acid:
A: HA_(aq) + H_2O_(l) ⇌ H_3O^+_ (aq) + A^1- _(aq)

Q: Equilibrium constant associated with a weak acid system is known as the [...]
A: acid ionization constant (Ka)

Q: Any substance when dissolved in water that produces OH^- _(aq):
A: An Arrhenius base

Q: A weak base is a compound that reacts [...] with water to form an equilibrium that includes [...] (aq) ions.
A: incompletely; OH^-
Back Extra: B_(aq) + H_2O_(l) ⇌ OH^- _(aq) + HB^+ _(aq)

Base ionization constant (K_b) of B_(aq) + H_2O_(l) ⇌ OH^-_(aq) + HB^+_ (aq) is:

Q: Relationship between K_a, K_b, and K_w
A: K_aK_b = [H_3O^+_(aq)][OH^-_(aq)] = K_w
*Since Kw is constant, as Ka increases, Kb decreases and vice-versa

Q: Ion-product constant for water (K_w) is the equilibrium constant for the [...]
The formula is [...].
A: auto-ionization of H_2O.; \(\ce{K_w= [H+(aq)][OH-(aq)]}\)
