Question

On acidity and basicity of aqueous solutions, the following relationships are valid, except

   

If pH < 7, then [H+] < [-OH]; more acidic

   

Ka x Kb = 1.0 x 10-14

   

[H+][-OH] = 1.0 x 10-14 =KW

   

If pOH< 7, then [H+] < [-OH]; more basic

   

pH + pOH = 14

   

for a weak acid and its conjugate base: pKa + pKb=pKW

   

for a weak base: ↑Kb, ↓ pKb, more basic, more [-OH]
