Ion Product Constant for Water (Kw) Occasionally, in water, a H+ is transferred between H2O molecules
Simple Kw Problems • The [OH- ] of a solution is 1.0 x 10- 3M. What is the [H3O+]? • The [H3O+] of a solution is 4.76 x 10-11. What is the [OH-]?
pH and pOH Indicates the “acidity” of the solution pH = _____________________ From the French pouvoir hydrogene pOH = ______________________ [H+][OH-] = Kw = 1 x 10-14 pH + pOH = _____ = ______

pH Problems • Calculate the pH of a 0.50 M solution of HClO4. • Calculate the pH of a 0.50 M solution of hydrocyanic acid. Ka = 6.2 x 10-10.
What is the Ka of a weak acid if a 0.33 M solution has an [OH-] of 2.5 x 10-9 M? • Weak acid [HA]o = 0.75 M. The solution has a pH = 5.3. Find the Ka for the weak acid.
Ammonia has a pKb = 4.74. What is the concentration of an ammonia solution with a pH of 9.75?
Try One Yourself! • A 0.40 M solution of lactic acid (HC3H5O3) has a pH of 2.12 What is the pKa of lactic acid?
