Re: Kw Equations
[H3O+][OH-] = Kw, and [Ka][Kb] = Kw. Keep in mind however that Kw will be different depending on temperature. We just tend to use 1*10^-14 b/c this is what Kw is equal to at the standard state temperature (25C)

Re: Kw Equations
The equation is [H3O^+][OH^-] = Kw. Generally, it would be [1.0x10^-7][1.0x10^-7] = 1.0x10^-14. This is when Kw is at 25 C., otherwise I think the Kw value would be different at different temperatures.
Re: Kw Equations
Also, keep in mind that although:
[Ka][Kb] = Kw and [H3O+][OH-] = Kw
[Ka] != [H3O+] and [Kb] != [OH-]
[Ka][Kb] = Kw and [H3O+][OH-] = Kw
[Ka] != [H3O+] and [Kb] != [OH-]

Re: Kw Equations
ka*kb=kw=10^-14
pka+pka=pkw=14 (you get this by taking the -log of the first equation)
Also, these equations are on the equation sheet just replace [H3O+] with ka, [OH-] with kb, pH with pka, and POH with pkb.

Re: Kw Equations
Pretty much this is a way of saying that pH + pOH = 14, but it is showing it in terms of the concentrations of [H30+] and [OH-]. I know these equations are usually always given on the equation sheet, so u can deduce subsequent equations from it.

Re: Kw Equations
Hi does anyone have a preferred online resource/chart they like to refer to for studying this topic? Like khan academy or a youtube video or something thanks!!
