Question

Given the Ka values, estimate the pKa value of each of the following acids without using a calculator (that is, is it between 3 and 4, between 9 and 10, and so on?):

1. nitrous acid (HNO,), K, = 4.0 x 10 4
2. nitric acid (HNO3), K = 22
5. formic acid (HCOOH), K, = 2.0 x 104
6. phosphoric acid (H3PO4), K,= 2.1
4. hydrogen cyanide (HCN), K, = 7.9 x 10-10
