The basicity constant of pyridine can be expressed as pKb = 8.75 what will be the pH of a 1M (1 mole per liter) solution of pyridine in water? Py + HOH ==> PyH^+ + OH^- Kb = (PyH^+)(OH^-)/(Py) Change pKb to Kb, plug in x for (PyH^+) and (OH^-) and 1 for (...

Sacchirin is a monoprotic acid. If the pH of a 1.50x10^-2M solution of this acid is 5.53, what is the Ka of saccharin? (the answer is 5.8x10^-10) I know we're supposed to use the Henderson Hasselbach equation to solve for the [H+] from pH, but what's next...

Calculate the percent ionization of cyanic acid, Ka=2.0x10^-4, in a buffer soln that is .50M HCNO and .10M NaCNO. Answer is .20%. So,I know that NaCNO-->Na+ + CNO- so [CNO-]=.10M from ICF chart. and then HCNO <=>H+ + CNO- where: [HCNO]= .5 and [CNO-]=.1 W...
