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
HA = Hydrogen peroxide (90%) HA H+ + A− 11.7

Famous quotes containing the words values and/or common:

    If the Russians have gone too far in subjecting the child and his peer group to conformity to a single set of values imposed by the adult society, perhaps we have reached the point of diminishing returns in allowing excessive autonomy and in failing to utilize the constructive potential of the peer group in developing social responsibility and consideration for others.
    Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

    There seems to be a common strain of miserliness in the American people when it comes to throwing away toothpaste tubes which have a little left in the bottom.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
