Chemistry Made Simple

Using the Acid Dissociation Constant Ka with Weak Acids


Listen Later

Read the full show notes

In this episode we simplify:

  • What is the acid dissociation constant, Ka
  • Calculating pH from the H+ concentration
  • Calculating the H+ concentration from pH
  • Calculate acid concentration [HA] for a weak acid
  • Calculate the acid dissociation constant, Ka

It's really not as difficult as it seems. Listen in and get chemistry confident.

Suggested listening: Also listen to episode 9 which introduces the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid and defines how to calculate pH.
