Question
The equilibrium expression for any weak acid can be written as
HA (aq) + H20 (1) = A- (aq) + H;O+ (aq)
1. Write the K value expression based on the equation above (remember that pure liquids are not
included in the K expression). This is given the special symbol Ka.
2. In this experiment, you will be using pH to find [H3O+]. The relationship is [H3O*] = 10-PH .
For a pH of 7.4, find the [H3O+].
