Calculating K for Acid-Base Reactions
This page randomly generates problems involving proton transfer equilibria where all of the species are weak. To start, press "New Problem" and a question will appear to the right of the button. Determine the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction shown, enter it in the cell and press "Check Answer". Results appear in the table.
- Selecting "Show K Values" will display a table of acid and base equilibrium values
- If you use scientific notation enter the number is the form 2.3e-5 instead of 2.3 * 10-5.
- If you get a problem "incorrect", you should redo it and recheck your answer.
- Pressing "Show Answer" will display the solution and you will no longer be able submit an answer for that problem.
