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:

    Tallulah [Bankhead] was the foremost naughty girl of her era but, in those days, “naughty” meant piquant, whereas values have so changed that now, in the 1970s, it generally means nauseating.
    Anita Loos (1888–1981)

    Academic and aristocratic people live in such an uncommon atmosphere that common sense can rarely reach them.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
