14.3 Exercise 33

Avg difficulty 2.5

Calculate the ionization constant for each of the following acids or bases from the ionization constant of its conjugate base or conjugate acid:

(a) HTe− (as a base)

(b) (CH3)3NH+\left(\text{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \text{NH}^{+}

(c) HAsO42–\text{HAsO}_{4} ^{2–} (as a base)

(d) HO2−\text{HO}_{2} ^{−} (as a base)

(e) C6H5NH3+\text{C}_{6} \text{H}_{5} \text{NH}_{3} ^{+}

(f) HSO3−\text{HSO}_{3} ^{−} (as a base)
