acid base - What is the Ka of OH- and Kb of H3O+?


What is the Ka of OHX and Kb of HX3OX+? Have these constants been determined?



Answer



For OX2, the pKb is approximately 22, so the pKa of hydroxide is about 36.

For hydronium, the reference Fred Senese cited



Protonated hydronium dication...


suggests that at acidities of Hammet acidity function Ho=25 to 28, protonated hydronium can be present.
