If we add Equations \(\ref{16.5.6}\) and \(\ref{16.5.7}\), we obtain the following (recall that the equilibrium constant for the sum of two reactions is the product of the equilibrium constants for the individual reactions): \[\cancel{HCN_{(aq)}} \rightleftharpoons H^+_{(aq)}+\cancel{CN^_{(aq)}} \;\;\; K_a=[H^+]\cancel{[CN^]}/\cancel{[HCN]}\], \[\cancel{CN^_{(aq)}}+H_2O_{(l)} \rightleftharpoons OH^_{(aq)}+\cancel{HCN_{(aq)}} \;\;\; K_b=[OH^]\cancel{[HCN]}/\cancel{[CN^]}\], \[H_2O_{(l)} \rightleftharpoons H^+_{(aq)}+OH^_{(aq)} \;\;\; K=K_a \times K_b=[H^+][OH^]\].

Although \(K_a\) for \(HI\) is about 108 greater than \(K_a\) for \(HNO_3\), the reaction of either \(HI\) or \(HNO_3\) with water gives an essentially stoichiometric solution of \(H_3O^+\) and I or \(NO_3^\). 0000016240 00000 n

Water samples that are exposed to air will absorb some carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid (H2CO3) and the concentration of H3O+ will increase due to the reaction H2CO3 + H2O = HCO3 + H3O+. Carbonic acid can be considered to be a diprotic acid from which two series of salts can be formednamely, hydrogen carbonates . Many salts give aqueous solutions with acidic or basic properties. The main advantage of the molal concentration unit (mol/kg water) is to result in stable and robust concentration values which are independent of the solution density and volume changes (density depending on the water salinity (ionic strength), temperature and pressure); therefore, molality is the preferred unit used in thermodynamic calculations or in precise or less-usual conditions, e.g., for seawater with a density significantly different from that of pure water,[3] or at elevated temperatures, like those prevailing in thermal power plants.
