The larger the value of pK, the smaller the extent of dissociation at any given pH (see HendersonHasselbalch
equation)that is, the weaker the acid. A weak acid has
a pK value in the approximate range 2 to 12 in water.
Acids with a pK value of less than about 2 are said to
be strong acids; the dissociation of a strong acid is effectively complete such that concentration of the undissociated acid is too small to be measured. pK values
for strong acids can, however, be estimated by theoretical means.

The chemical species HA, A and H3 O+ are said to be in

The acid dissociation constant for an acid is a direct consequence of the underlying thermodynamics of the dissociation reaction; the pK value is directly proportional
to the standard Gibbs energy change for the reaction.
The value of the pK changes with temperature and can
be understood qualitatively based on Le Chateliers principle: when the reaction is endothermic, the pK decreases with increasing temperature; the opposite is true
for exothermic reactions.

application in many dierent areas of chemistry, biology,
medicine, and geology. For example, many compounds
used for medication are weak acids or bases, and a knowledge of the pK values, together with the wateroctanol
partition coecient, can be used for estimating the extent
to which the compound enters the blood stream. Acid
dissociation constants are also essential in aquatic chemistry and chemical oceanography, where the acidity of
water plays a fundamental role. In living organisms, acidbase homeostasis and enzyme kinetics are dependent on
the pK values of the many acids and bases present in
the cell and in the body. In chemistry, a knowledge of
pK values is necessary for the preparation of buer solutions and is also a prerequisite for a quantitative understanding of the interaction between acids or bases and
metal ions to form complexes. Experimentally, pK values can be determined by potentiometric (pH) titration,
but for values of pK less than about 2 or more than about
11, spectrophotometric or NMR measurements may be
required due to practical diculties with pH measurements.
The acid loses a proton, leaving a conjugate base; the proton is transferred to the base, creating a conjugate acid.
For aqueous solutions of an acid HA, the base is water;
the conjugate base is A and the conjugate acid is the hydronium ion. The BrnstedLowry denition applies to
other solvents, such as dimethyl sulfoxide: the solvent S
acts as a base, accepting a proton and forming the conjugate acid SH+ .
HA + S A + SH+ .
In solution chemistry, it is common to use H+ as an abbreviation for the solvated hydrogen ion, regardless of the
solvent. In aqueous solution H+ denotes a solvated hydronium ion rather than a proton.[5][6]
The designation of an acid or base as conjugate depends
on the context. The conjugate acid BH+ of a base B dissociates according to
BH+ + OH B + H2 O
which is the reverse of the equilibrium
H2 O (acid) + B (base) OH (conjugate base) +
BH+ (conjugate acid).

At half-neutralization [A ]/[HA] = 1; since log(1)
=0, the pH at half-neutralization is numerically
equal to pK. Conversely, when pH = pK, the concentration of HA is equal to the concentration of A .
The buer region extends over the approximate
range pK 2, though buering is weak outside the
range pK 1. At pK 1, [A ]/[HA] = 10 or 1/10.
If the pH is known, the ratio may be calculated. This
ratio is independent of the analytical concentration
of the acid.

Polyprotic acids
Polyprotic acids are acids that can lose more than one proton. The constant for dissociation of the rst proton may
be denoted as K and the constants for dissociation of
successive protons as K, etc. Phosphoric acid, H3 PO4 ,
is an example of a polyprotic acid as it can lose three protons.

Carbonic acid equilibria are important for acid-base

An amino acid is also amphoteric with the added complication that the neutral molecule is subject to an internal acid-base equilibrium in which the basic amino group

group, forming a zwitterion.

cannot always be measured directly, but may be calculated using theoretical methods. Buer solutions are used
extensively to provide solutions at or near the physiological pH for the study of biochemical reactions;[55] the design of these solutions depends on a knowledge of the pK
values of their components. Important buer solutions
include MOPS, which provides a solution with pH 7.2,
and tricine, which is used in gel electrophoresis.[56][57]
Buering is an essential part of acid base physiology including acid-base homeostasis,[58] and is key to understanding disorders such as acid-base imbalance.[59][60][61]
The isoelectric point of a given molecule is a function of
its pK values, so dierent molecules have dierent isoelectric points. This permits a technique called isoelectric
focusing,[62] which is used for separation of proteins by
2-D gel polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

may be polyprotic; for example EDTA4 can accept four
protons; in that case, all pK values must be known. In
addition, the metal ion is subject to hydrolysis, that is, it
behaves as a weak acid, so the pK values for the hydrolysis reactions must also be known.[66] Assessing the hazard
associated with an acid or base may require a knowledge of pK values.[67] For example, hydrogen cyanide
is a very toxic gas, because the cyanide ion inhibits the
iron-containing enzyme cytochrome c oxidase. Hydrogen cyanide is a weak acid in aqueous solution with a pK
of about 9. In strongly alkaline solutions, above pH 11,
say, it follows that sodium cyanide is fully dissociated
so the hazard due to the hydrogen cyanide gas is much
reduced. An acidic solution, on the other hand, is very
hazardous because all the cyanide is in its acid form. Ingestion of cyanide by mouth is potentially fatal, independently of pH, because of the reaction with cytochrome c
oxidase.
In environmental science acidbase equilibria are important for lakes[68] and rivers;[69][70] for example, humic
acids are important components of natural waters. Another example occurs in chemical oceanography:[71] in
order to quantify the solubility of iron(III) in seawater at
various salinities, the pK values for the formation of the
iron(III) hydrolysis products Fe(OH)2+ , Fe(OH)2 + and
Fe(OH)3 were determined, along with the solubility product of iron hydroxide.[72]
