Write the balanced Ka and Kb reactions for HSO3in water. Be sure to include the physical states of each species involved in the reaction. HS03 (aq) NOTE: Use the chemical equation editor tool to input the physical states. Do not subscript the physical states of the compounds. Kb:

Solution

ka is acid dissociation constant.

Ka : HSO₃^-(aq) + H₂O (l) <===> H₃O⁺(aq) + SO₃^2-(aq)

( K = [H₃O⁺][ SO₃^2-] / [HSO₃^-][H₂O]

K [H₂O] = Ka

Ka =  [H₃O⁺][ SO₃^2-] / [HSO₃^-] )

kb is acid dissociation constant.

Kb : HSO₃^-(aq) + H₂O (l) <===> OH^-(aq) + H₂SO₃(aq)

( K = [OH^-][H₂SO₃] / [HSO₃^-][H₂O]

K [H₂O] = Kb

Kb =  [OH^-][H₂SO₃] / [HSO₃^-] )
