Acid Dissociation Constant - Values For Common Substances

Values For Common Substances

There are multiple techniques to determine the pKa of a chemical, leading to some discrepancies between different sources. Well measured values are typically within 0.1 units of each other. Data presented here were taken at 25 °C in water. More values can be found in thermodynamics, above.

Chemical Name Equilibrium pKa
B = Adenine BH22+ BH+ + H+ 4.17
BH+ B + H+ 9.65
H3A = Arsenic acid H3A H2A− + H+ 2.22
H2A− HA2− + H+ 6.98
HA2− A3− + H+ 11.53
HA = Benzoic acid HA H+ + A− 4.204
HA = Butanoic acid HA H+ + A− 4.82
H2A = Chromic acid H2A HA− + H+ 0.98
HA− A2− + H+ 6.5
B = Codeine BH+ B + H+ 8.17
HA = Cresol HA H+ + A− 10.29
HA = Formic acid HA H+ + A− 3.751
HA = Hydrofluoric acid HA H+ + A− 3.17
HA = Hydrocyanic acid HA H+ + A− 9.21
HA = Hydrogen selenide HA H+ + A− 3.89

Famous quotes containing the words values and/or common:

    Culture is the name for what people are interested in, their thoughts, their models, the books they read and the speeches they hear, their table-talk, gossip, controversies, historical sense and scientific training, the values they appreciate, the quality of life they admire. All communities have a culture. It is the climate of their civilization.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality.... Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
