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 |

Famous quotes containing the words values and/or common:
“[University students] hated the hypocrisy of adult society, the rigidity of its political institutions, the impersonality of its bureaucracies. They sought to create a society that places human values before materialistic ones, that has a little less head and a little more heart, that is dominated by self-interest and loves its neighbor more. And they were persuaded that group protest of a militant nature would advance those goals.”
—Muriel Beadle (b. 1915)
“What the study of history and artistic creation have in common is a mode of forming images.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
