Question #25

An acid has a Ka value that is equal to 2.5 x 10-11.

Is this acid most likely a strong acid or a weak acid? Why?

Answer #25:

A weak acid because for the Ka value to be less than one, the denominator of the equilibrium-constant expression must be larger than the numerator which means that the reactants have the greater concentrations and that is only possible when there is a low % ionization like you would see with a weak acid.*Strong acids have a Ka value greater than one.

Question #26

For a polyprotic acid, the value of Ka1 will always be _____ than Ka2

because it is _____ to remove the first hydrogen ion than it is to

remove the second.

Answer #26:

For a polyprotic acid, the value of Ka1 will always be larger than Ka2

because it is easier to remove the first hydrogen ion than it is to

remove the second.
