Ka ↔ Kb Converter — Ka·Kb = Kw
Every conjugate acid–base pair shares one fixed product: K_a × K_b = K_w. Know how strong the acid is, and you immediately know how strong its conjugate base is — and vice versa.
Ka ↔ Kb Converter — Ka·Kb = Kw
How to interpret the result
Worked check: acetic acid K_a = 1.8×10⁻⁵ → its conjugate base acetate has K_b = 10⁻¹⁴/1.8×10⁻⁵ = 5.6×10⁻¹⁰. Strong acid ⟺ weak conjugate base, always.
Assumptions
- Aqueous solution at 25 °C (K_w = 1.0×10⁻¹⁴)
- K_a and K_b belong to a true conjugate pair
