How do you find Keq if given an equation and Ka and Kb?  EX: Someone found a smashed box of smelling salts in a storage closet of Fauver Stadium. The field hockey team manager, being a chemistry pro, knew that if she could convert all of the ammonia (NH3) found in the smelling salts into an ammonium salt (NH4+ + X), she could get rid of the horrid smell. If the closet contained 100 mL of 1.0 M NH3 solution and the field hockey team manager/chemistry pro added 100 mL of a 1.0 M solution of H2SO4. Kb for NH3 = 1.73 • 10-6, Ka for H2SO4 = 1000, Ka for HSO4-= 1.2 • 10-2 a. Provide a keq value for each of the following... H2SO4 + NH3 =HSO4 + NH4 HSO4 + NH3=SO4+ NH4 NH3 + H20= OH- + NH4 NH4 + H20= NH3 + H30 SO4 + H20= HSO4 + OH-

How do you find Keq if given an equation and Ka and Kb? 

EX: Someone found a smashed box of smelling salts in a storage closet of Fauver Stadium. The field hockey team manager, being a chemistry pro, knew that if she could convert all of the ammonia (NH3) found in the smelling salts into an ammonium salt (NH4+ + X), she could get rid of the horrid smell. If the closet contained 100 mL of 1.0 M NH3 solution and the field hockey team manager/chemistry pro added 100 mL of a 1.0 M solution of H2SO4.

Kb for NH3 = 1.73 • 10-6, Ka for H2SO4 = 1000, Ka for HSO4-= 1.2 • 10-2

a. Provide a keq value for each of the following...

H2SO4 + NH3 =HSO4 + NH4

HSO4 + NH3=SO4+ NH4

NH3 + H20= OH- + NH4

NH4 + H20= NH3 + H30

SO4 + H20= HSO4 + OH-
