How to calculate K a
« on: March 31, 2010, 02:00:26 PM »
C6H5COOH + F-  ::equil:: C6H5COO- + HF

Ka for C6H5COOH = 6.5 x 10-5

How do I get 6.5 x 10-5?

Thank you

Well I've already searched online for Ka Charts and couldn't find a solid one. Do you know any good links with Ka values?

Here (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080312155902AAdP0QF) is what I've just found. I think you can use it as an example to calculate the Ka for your components.. I haven't studied Advanced Organic Chemistry yet so I really don't know what is Ka. I just wanted to help somebody today :).  I hope it suits your demands

No, you can't. Have you actually tried to read and understand the question and approach shown?
