Note that ammonia and most organic bases release OH- ions due to
hydrolysis, not dissociation. On the contrary inorganic bases - like NaOH,
KOH, LiOH, Ca(OH)2 - increase pH dissociating.

Disclaimer - accuracy of the values shown, especially for the strong

acids, is questionable. Depending on the source pKa for HCl is given as
-3, -4 or even -7. These values are usually not measured but calculated
from thermodynamical data and should not be treated too seriously.
Besides, difference between pKa=-1 and pKa=-10 influences calculation
results for the solutions with high ionic strength, which are dubious in
any case. As for strong bases - NaOH, KOH, LiOH, Ca(OH)2 - pKb values
read explanation in our FAQ section.

pKa and pKb values have been taken from various books and internet

sources. Please remember that only some of them are included in the trial
version database, but you can always enter them manually for
calculations.

For the reactions of dissociation of acid:

stepwise dissociation constants are defined as

For the reactions of dissociation of base:

stepwise dissociation constants are defined as

Next dissociation steps are trated the same way. Dissociation can be also
described by overall constants, as well as base dissociation constants or
protonation constants. They are all defined in the help file accompanying
BATE.
