Ka and Kb on Final

[Sydni Stewart]

In class, Lavelle mentioned we would not need to know equilibrium constants until 14b, so what exactly do we need to know in regards to what we've learned about Ka and Kb?

[Ashley P 4I]

I am also very confused on this because todays lecture talked more about 14B rather than what we would need to learn in terms of this course.

[Emmanuel Ogunrinde 3L]

I don't think we'll have to solve equilibrium constants on the final. On Outline 6 where it lists what we have to know for the final it doesn't say anything about equilibrium.

[Rebecca Park]

we don't need to Ka and Kb

[Richard Ku 4H]

We will not need to know Ka and Kb values for the final. This will be covered in 14B. The only acids and bases calculations we will do is for pH.

[Claudia Luong 4K]

We do not need to know these for the final. Just in case, I think it would be good to at least keep in mind that pKa is -log(Ka) and that the bigger the value of Ka is the stronger the acid.

Does this also mean the bigger the value of Kb the stronger the base?

[Claudia Luong 4K]

Yes, the larger the value of Kb, the stronger the base.

[Abby-Hile-1F]

Do we just need to understand the general concepts of Ka and Kb, but will not need to solve anything with them?

[Jayde Felix 4H]

Yes, understand the concept but don't worry about equations having to do with them.
