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 |

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)
“... exchanging platitudes, as Frenchmen do, for the pleasure of feeling their mouths full of the good meat of common sense.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
