Equilibrium constant units, lack

B) Values of pK are measures of equilibrium constants, described further below. Values between 0 and 15.7 are measured by titration in water solution and are known accurately, to within 0.1 pK unit and sometimes better. Values outside of this range cannot be measured in water because of the leveling effect of water, and there is no universally accepted method for measuring these pK values. This lack of a single standard of measurement means that the values below 0 and above 15.7 should be considered relative, not absolute. If your instructor says the pK of methane is 46 and this book says it is 50, those should be considered the same value within experimental variation. [Pg.690]
