Question
Chapter 16, Problem 29PS
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Epinephrine hydrochloride has pKa value of 9.53. The value of Ka has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Acid:

An acid is a substance that generates hydronium ions, H3O+ when added to the water.

Strong acid:

Strong acids are completely ionised in water.

For example,

HCl H2O H3O++ Cl-

Weak acid:

Weak acids are partially ionised in water.

For example,

HF + H2OH3O++ F-

pKa is define as the negative logarithm of Ka

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
describe  the curve and why pH = pka at half equivalence point
For a weak acid with a pKa of 6.0, show how you would calculate the ration of acid to salt at pH 5.
The structure of benzene-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid (pKa1 =2.88, pKa2 4.76, pKa3 = 7.13) can be seen on the right.  What is the predominate form of benzene-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid in a solution that has a pH of 6.0?
