The acetate ion is the conjugate base of the weak acid acetic acid. The value of Kb for CH3COO-, is 5.56×10-10. Write the equation for the reaction that goes with this equilibrium constant.

The equation for the reaction that goes with this equilibrium constant is

Explanation:

Here donates a proton and thus behaves as an acid and forms which is called as the conjugate base of

The dissociation constant of acids is given by the term and the dissociation constant of bases is given by the term and is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios.
