Question : 43 of 73
Marks: +1, -0
The ionization constant of HF, HCOOH and HCN at 298 K are 6.8 × 10410^{-4}, 1.8 × 10410^{-4} and 4.8 × 10910^{-9} respectively. Calculate the ionization constants of the corresponding conjugate base.
Solution:  
KbK_b = KwKa\frac{K_w}{K_a}
For FF^{-} , KbK_b = 10146.8×104\frac{10^{-14}}{6.8 \times 10^{-4}} = 1.47 × 101110^{-11}
For HCOO\mathrm{HCOO}^{-} , KbK_b = 10141.8×104\frac{10^{-14}}{1.8 \times 10^{-4}} = 5.6 × 101110^{-11}
For CN\mathrm{CN}^{-} , KbK_b = 10144.8×109\frac{10^{-14}}{4.8 \times 10^{-9}} = 2.08 × 10610^{-6}
