Chapter 7: Problem 52
For an acid \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+} ; K_{1}\) and for a base \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{OH} ; K_{2}\) Then (1) \(K_{1} \cdot K_{2}=K_{\mathrm{w}}\) (2) \(\log K_{1}+\log K_{2}=\log K_{\mathrm{w}}\) (3) \(\mathrm{p} K_{1}+\mathrm{p} K_{2}=\mathrm{p} K_{\mathrm{w}}\) (4) all are correct
