Find the {eq}\rm K_a {/eq} and {eq}\rm K_b {/eq} for the {eq}\rm 0.10 \ M \ NH_3 {/eq} and explain it is strong or weak.
Question:
Find the {eq}\rm K_a {/eq} and {eq}\rm K_b {/eq} for the {eq}\rm 0.10 \ M \ NH_3 {/eq} and explain it is strong or weak.
Base Dissociation Constant:
The acid dissociation constant is different from the base dissociation constant. We can use the acid dissociation constant to estimate the strength of the acid, while the base dissociation constant to estimate the strength of the base. The acid dissociation and base dissociation constants are related to one another by using the autoionization constant of water {eq}\rm \left(1.00\times 10^{-14}\right) {/eq}.
