New cards

What are the ionization constants?

The measure of the strengths of acids and bases

2
New cards

The larger the Ka or Kb value…

The stronger the acid or base, respectively

3
New cards

What is the only thing that can change the ionization constants?

Temperature

4
New cards

What is the K value of strong acids or bases?

Larger than 1

5
New cards

The closer the K value is to 1…

The stronger the acid/base

6
New cards

Polyprotic acid

An acid with more than one ionizable proton. In solution, each dissociation step has a different value for Ka

7
New cards

The second and third ionization concentration can often be…

negligible

8
New cards

The dissociation of a base should result in…

basic pH
