5 | H3O+ concentration |

H3O+ concentration Explanation: This is correct, but why not keeping the equations, as in the original? As before, to get the pKa, take - log (decimal logarithm) of Ka, all right? Similar to pH, pH - log of H3O+ concentration, here pKa = - log of the acid dissociation constant. |

H30+ concentration (subscript 3 superscript +) Explanation: As before, to get the pKa, take the negative log of Ka, the base 10 log, all right? It's like pH. The pH is the negative log of the H3O+ concentration. The pKa is the negative log of the acid dissociation constant. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs (2019-04-23 11:36:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I wrote it as I would use it in speech. I think Tony was saying use the articles like Karen did. https://www.thoughtco.com/ph-pka-ka-pkb-and-kb-explained-4027791 |
