At the end of this activity, students should be able to describe the dissociation of weak acids and bases, define the acid and base dissociation constants, compare the strengths of acids and bases using dissociation constants, explain the changes in subsequent dissociation constants for diû and triprotic acids, perform pH calculations for solutions of weak acids and bases and explain pKa and pKb values and use them to predict the strengths of acids and bases.
