The Ka of acetic acid (CH3CO2H) is 1.8x10-5 and the Kb of methylamine (CH3NH2) is 4.4x10-4. Complete the following equilibrium reaction (acid-base reaction) equation and predict the side of the equilibrium that is favored. Explain. Show all your work.
Experimental observations show that thiocyanate (SCN- ), the conjugate base of thiocyanic acid (pKa = 1.1 at 25 °C), is quite soluble in neutral water at pH > 2. In the space provided below, explain this experimental observation. That is, why does SCN– readily dissolve in water when the pH > 2?

Oh okay. So that amine can be ionized. Under what conditions? Typically, at physiological pH, that amine would not be ionized. So when would it be ionized and where in the body does that happen? Can you give specific pKa values?
Sort the compounds below in order of increasing acidity. Explain your answer.
What am I doing wrong? I think the proton on the amine is more acidic and the conjugate acid seems to be more acidic than the acid which doesn't make sense for the Keq value.
