Significance of Equilibrium Constants

Postby Summer de Vera 2C » Tue Dec 04, 2018 4:11 pm

Do higher equilibrium constants indicate a stronger acid/base? And would you only have to find this for weak acids?

The notes in the past lecture said that stronger acids have higher Ka values.

If the acid has a higher a equilibrium constant that means it is a stronger acid which means its bond is stronger which makes sense that it would have a higher equilibrium constant because it would have the hardest bond to break.
