What's the Difference between Ka and Kb?

Показать описание
Ka is the equilibrium constant for an acid reacting with water to make H3O(+) and its conjugate base.
Kb is the equilibrium constant for a base reacting with water to make OH(-) and its conjugate acid.

The Ka and Kb of a conjugate acid/base pair multiply to give 10^-14.

Dude this needs more views. Thank you for opening another door of chemistry for me to jump through!

THANK YOU. You're the only one I could find who explained this and made it so SIMPLE.

Paid 18K yet have the worst chemistry teacher at school. Thank you ChemistNATE for giving us the opportunity to learn.

Ahhh I was confused about the Kb of the conjugate base of a strong acid ... I figured they should be the same because dissociation is dissociation. However, I did not realize that the Kb expression assumes the proton is extracted from water, not hydronium. That clears it up.

Question, The secound part doesn't make sense, if it takes back the proton shoudn't it logicaly take it from hydronium and form water rather than OH? As a reversable reaction?

When you find the (x). And put the negative log of x. Do you get the ph or poh?

How does this video not have a 1000 likes already?
I would give 1000, but I can only give 1 haha.

Thank you for your great educational videos...iam confused and have two questions please :

1) About the HF example, in the F- 2nd reaction equation at equilibrium, shouldnt the F- reacts with H3O+ instead of H2O?.

2) why the concentrations of F- and HF are equal in both reactions inspite that they are two different reactions ? .

Am i missing something i the concept ?...i am totally lost :(
..thank you in advance
