A 1.25 × 10-4 m solution of the anti-inflammatory drug naproxen has a ph = 4.2. the ka and pka of naproxen are ________ and ____
Mandarinka [93]

Naproxen is known to be a weak acid. In order to calculate its ka and pka, use the equation of getting the ph of weak acid which is ph= -1/2 log [(Ka)(Mwa)]. The Ka value is 3.18x10^-5. The pKa can be obtained through pKa = - log Ka. The pKa is 4.5.

If a buffer solution is 0.190 m in a weak acid (ka = 8.2 × 10-5) and 0.590 m in its conjugate base, what is the ph?\
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
<span>You use the Henderson - Hasselbalch equation pH = pKa + log ([salt]/[acid]) pKa = -log (8.2*10^-5) = 4.081 pH = 4.081 + (0.590/0.190) pH = 4.081 + log 3.105 pH = 4.081 + 0.49206 pH = 4.573</span>
