Ka Kb = Kw

I know this isn't exactly equilibrium, but I wasn't sure where to ask it. For the final, in what context are we going to need to know and apply the Ka x Kb = Kw?

I can't be sure what will appear on the final but we used Kw on the first test. A basic reaction and the pKa was given so you had to use Kb= Kw/Ka to find the Kb to solve the problem.

The Ka/Kb can also help you find the concentrations of H+ of OH- ions depending on whether the reaction is acidic or basic, which can then help you find pH.

You can use it to find the pH of a solution.

[Heidi Ibarra Castillo 1D]

you can use it to find the pH or the pOh

Kw is typically used to find Ka or Kb when given the other. The relation can be used in any number of ways depending on the problem and what you need to find.
