Which arrow correctly represents weak acid dissociation in water?

⇌ (equilibrium arrows)

For weak acid HA, where should [H+][\text{H}^+] appear in the KaK_a expression?

In the numerator

What are the units of KaK_a for any weak acid?

mol dm3^{-3}

What does a large KaK_a value indicate about an acid?

Stronger acid with more dissociation

What is the pKa_a of an acid with Ka=1.48×104K_a = 1.48 \times 10^{-4} mol dm3^{-3}?

3.83

If acid X has smaller pKa_a than acid Y, what can you conclude?

X is stronger with larger KaK_a

Which acid is strongest: HNO2_2 (pKa_a 3.39) or HClO (pKa_a 7.53)?

HNO2_2 (smaller pKa_a)

For dibasic acids, how do successive KaK_a values compare?

Each KaK_a decreases (gets smaller)

In malic acid, which groups dissociate to release H+^+?

Only COOH groups

Which logarithm should be used: pKa_a = -log KaK_a?

Base 10 (log10_{10})
