Title: Ka values (URGENT)
Post by: sarahyesul on January 15, 2016, 02:59:57 AM

I really need to finish my lab report and I don't know how to answer this question. "Should the Ka values determined by measuring the pH of the sodium acetate/acetic acid solutions be the same as the Ka value determined by measuring the pH of the acetic acid? Explain why or why not."

PLEASE, ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

Hint
K_a is  a thermodynamic value. What does it mean?
