If K is very small, we can assume that the If K is very small, we can assume that the change (x) is going to be negligiblechange (x) is going to be negligible

““rule of thumb” is if initial conc. of the acid is rule of thumb” is if initial conc. of the acid is >1000 times its K>1000 times its Kaa value then cancel x value then cancel x

this makes the answer true to +/- 5% and why Kthis makes the answer true to +/- 5% and why Kaa values are given to 2 sig. digsvalues are given to 2 sig. digs

Ka - Kb relationship for conjugate pairs

Acid-Base strength tables do not give Kb values we use the Ka - Kb relationship to solve this

problem this can be used with any conjugate acid-base pair

Kw = Ka x Kb

Kb = Kw / Ka

Kw = 1.0 x 10-14

Example 6 What is the Kb value for the weak base present when

sodium cyanide dissociates into an aqueous solution?

Sol’n

NaCN --> Na+ + CN- (complete dissociation)

the CN- is the weak base so we write the equilibrium equation with water to determine its conjugate acid

CN- + H2O <--> HCN + OH-

the conjugate acid is found to be HCN and its Ka is 6.2 x 10-10

Using Kb = Kw / Ka find Kb for CN-

Kb = 1 x 10-14 / 6.2 x 10-10 = 1.61 x 10-5
