Hello everyone,
I have this chemistry problem that doesn't make any sense to me.
here it is:
At equilibrium, a certain acid, HA, in solution, has a concentration of 0.94 M and its conjugate base has a concentration of 0.060 M. calculate Ka.First of all, I know that to find Ka I use its definition, which would be Ka=[H+]*[A-]/[HA], but for this problem, all I know is the [A-], which would be .06, and the [HA], which would be .94.
I have a feeling that the fact that the HA and A- add up to 1 might have something to do with getting the answer, but I could be completely mistaken on that point.
Please let me know how I can figure this out, I would really appreciate any help at all.
Thanks!!
