123-496: A is often used because it provides a convenient logarithmic scale , where a lower p K a corresponds to a stronger acid. The acid dissociation constant for an acid is a direct consequence of the underlying thermodynamics of the dissociation reaction; the p K a value is directly proportional to the standard Gibbs free energy change for the reaction. The value of the p K a changes with temperature and can be understood qualitatively based on Le Châtelier's principle : when

164-458: A less than about 2 or more than about 11, spectrophotometric or NMR measurements may be required due to practical difficulties with pH measurements. According to Arrhenius 's original molecular definition , an acid is a substance that dissociates in aqueous solution, releasing the hydrogen ion H (a proton): The equilibrium constant for this dissociation reaction is known as a dissociation constant . The liberated proton combines with

205-449: A metal-ligand complex are always specified as association constants, ligand protonation must also be specified as an association reaction.

287-528: A solvated hydronium ion rather than a proton. The designation of an acid or base as "conjugate" depends on the context. The conjugate acid BH of a base B dissociates according to which is the reverse of the equilibrium The hydroxide ion OH , a well known base, is here acting as the conjugate base of the acid water. Acids and bases are thus regarded simply as donors and acceptors of protons respectively. A broader definition of acid dissociation includes hydrolysis , in which protons are produced by

328-474: A values are known. In particular, the pH of a solution can be predicted when the analytical concentration and p K a values of all acids and bases are known; conversely, it is possible to calculate the equilibrium concentration of the acids and bases in solution when the pH is known. These calculations find application in many different areas of chemistry, biology, medicine, and geology. For example, many compounds used for medication are weak acids or bases, and

369-404: A values range from about −2 for a strong acid to about 12 for a very weak acid (or strong base). A buffer solution of a desired pH can be prepared as a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base.

All such acids transfer their protons to water and form the solvent cation species (H 3 O in aqueous solution) so that they all have essentially the same acidity, a phenomenon known as solvent leveling . They are said to be fully dissociated in aqueous solution because the amount of undissociated acid, in equilibrium with

However, since Δ G = − R T ln ⁡ K {\displaystyle \Delta G=-RT\ln K} , the equilibrium constant, ⁠ K {\displaystyle K} ⁠ , cannot have a physical dimension. This apparent paradox can be resolved in various ways. The procedures, (1) and (2), give identical numerical values for an equilibrium constant. Furthermore, since

For aqueous solutions of an acid HA,

697-460: A weak acid. p K a values for strong acids have been estimated by theoretical means. For example, the p K a value of aqueous HCl has been estimated as −9.3.
