Given the following equilibrium constants: Kb B(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ HB+(aq) + OH−(aq) 1/Kw H+(aq) + OH−(aq) ⇌ H2O(l) What is the equilibrium constant for the following reaction equal to? B(aq) + H+(aq) ⇌ HB+(aq)

The value of for the net reaction is

Explanation:

The given chemical equations follows:

Equation 1:  

Equation 2:  

The net equation follows:

As, the net reaction is the result of the addition of first equation and the second equation. So, the equilibrium constant for the net reaction will be the multiplication of first equilibrium constant and the second equilibrium constant.

The value of equilibrium constant for net reaction is:

We are given:  

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the value of for the net reaction is
