A monoprotic weak acid, HA, dissociates in water according to the reaction HA(aq) = H*(aq) + A¯(aq) The equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products are [HA] 0.290 M, [H+] = 3.00 × 10-4 M, and [A"] = 3.00 x 10-4 M. Calculate the value of pKa for the acid HA. pKa

Expert Solution
Step 1

A weak acid is an acid that undergoes partial dissociation and produces proton and a conjugate base. Conjugate base is a species that is formed from weak acid after removal of a proton.

The dissociation of a weak acid a type of reversible reaction that exists in equilibrium. There exists a balance between the amount of acid that dissociated to form proton and conjugate base, and the amount of acid that remains undissociated.
