Medal and fan Would saying that Ka and Kb are inversely proportional be correct?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

\(\sf K_a \times K_b = K_w\) and solving for either Ka or Kb, when you have one or the other: \(\sf K_a= K_w\frac{1}{K_b}\) Would you say they are inversely proportional knowing this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So directly then?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

This has nothing to do with Ka and Kb, but remember that VP=k and what kind of proportion is V to P in that equation? as Volume increase what would happen to the pressure. Same goes for Ka if Ka increases what would happen to Kb?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, that's what I though....inversely.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Yes.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

What are you talking about @sweetburger ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

He's talking about the equation, he was trying to relate the inverse relationship between volume and pressure to the equation of Ka*Kb=Kw.
