Answer:
3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb
Explanation:
The acid equilibrium of a weak acid, HX, is:
HX + H₂O ⇄ X⁻ + H₃O⁺
Where Ka = [X⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HX]
And basic equilibrium of the conjugate base, is:
X⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HX
Where Kb = [OH⁻] [HX] / [X⁻]
To convert Ka to Kb we must use water equilibrium:
2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
Where Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] [H₃O⁺]
Thus, we can obtain:
Kw = Ka*Kb
Solving for Kb:
Kw / Ka = Kb
1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2.76x10⁻⁸ =
3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb
If the question includes x only than it’s value would be 1
