Question

Sulfurous Acid, H2SO3, is a diprotic acid, with the following acid dissociation constants: Ka1 = 1.4 × 10-2 Ka2 = 6.7 × 10-8 What is the Kb for SO32- at 25ºC? Group of answer choices 9.4 × 10-10 1.5 × 10-7 6.7 × 10-8 7.2 × 10-13

Answer 1

Answer:

Kb =  7.1 x 10⁻¹³

Explanation:

Ka x Kb = Kw => Kb = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴/1.4 x 10⁻² = 7.1 x 10⁻¹³

Answer 2

Answer:

Kb = 7.1 x 10⁻¹³

Explanation:

Ka x Kb = Kw => Kb = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴/1.4 x 10⁻² = 7.1 x 10⁻¹³
