The strength of an acid is expressed by its Ka value (acid 'equilibrium' constant) or its derivative pKa value ( pKa=-log10[Ka] )

The relation with the strength of the conjugate base, (Kb , pKb values) is as follows:

  • Ka * Kb = 1.0*10-14 at 25oC
  • pKa + pKb = 14.00 at 25oC

Is vitamin d an acid base or electrolyte?

Vitamin D is not classified as an acid, base, or electrolyte. It is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in calcium absorption and bone health.


Explain how the relationship between the strengths of an acid and its conjugate base and of a base and its conjugated acid?

If acid is strong then its conjugate base must be weak, if conjugate base is strong it again accept the H+ ions so acid can neither be strong, similarly if base is strong its conjugate acid must be weak.


What is the relationship between phenol and its conjugate base?

Phenol is a weak acid that can donate a proton to form its conjugate base, phenolate. The relationship between phenol and its conjugate base is that they are a conjugate acid-base pair, with phenol being the acid and phenolate being the base. When phenol loses a proton, it forms phenolate, which is more stable due to the delocalization of the negative charge on the oxygen atom.


Can a strong electrolyte be a weak acid?

Strong acid is an expression in relation with the chemical properties of the acid and is used also in physical chemistry; dilute is a term only in relation with the concentration of the acid. Consequently strong acid and concentrated acid are not synonyms and a strong acid can be diluted.


What is the relationship if any between strong electrolyte and strong acid or base?

A strong electrolyte is an ionic compound which is completely dissociated in dilute solution. It may be an acid, a base or neither. Strong acids are strong electrolytes which produce hydrogen ions in water, and strong bases are strong electrolytes which produce hydroxide ions in water.
