There are two answers: bicarbonate has two pKa's - because bicarbonate can gain a proton to become carbonic acid or lose a proton to become carbonate. Two reactions; two pKa's. The pKa for bicarbonate carbonic acid reaction is 6.4 The pKa for bicarbonate carbonate reaction is 10.3 Both pKa's are temperature sensitive.
The pKa value for sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is 10.3. This provides a measure of the acid strength of bicarbonate. People often make the mistake of reporting the pKa value of 6.3 for bicarbonate. However, that is the pKa value of carbonic acid (not bicarbonate). It relates to the ease of the first deprotonation of carbonic acid to form bicarbonate. The pKa of bicarbonate relates to the deportation of bicarbonate to form carbonate. This distinction is important, since carbonic acid has two pKa's, the higher of which represents that second deprotonation.
The pKa value of sodium borohydride is approximately 13.
The pKa for HCO3- ----> CO3-2 + H+ is 10.33 I assume you would have a reaction such as K+ HCO3- + H2O ------> K+CO3-2 + H3O+ In which the potassium acts as a neutral ion.
The pKa value for sodium octanesulfonate is typically around 2.0 to 2.5.
Yes, Benzoic acid is a weak acid (pKa ~ 4.2) that will dissolve in weak base such as sodium bicarbonate (pKa ~ 6.4)
The pKa value of ceftriaxone is approximately 3.8.
The pKa value for sodium hydride (NaH) is approximately 36. This means that NaH is a very strong base that readily donates a proton in a reaction.
Sodium hydrogensulfate contains the HSO4- ion therfore it can function as an acid. It's pKa value is 1.9.
Sodium hydroxide is a strong base and does not have a pKa value. Instead, it dissociates completely in water to form hydroxide ions (OH-) and sodium ions (Na+).
Its ability to accept protons (basic property) is somewhat stronger (lower pK-value) than its proton donating property (very weak acid, higher pKa):base: HCO3- + H+ ---> H2CO3 pKb=7.64acid : HCO3- -> H+ + CO32- pKa=10.25As proof of this the pH value of a pure sodium bicarbonate is just above 7: pH about 8.0
The pKa value of Doxofylline is approximately 4.22.
Sodium bicarbonate is white.
