### Ka Expression for a Weak Acid

**Question 5 of 8**

**Problem Statement:**

Construct the expression for the acid dissociation constant (\( K_a \)) for the weak acid, \( \text{HC}_9\text{H}_7\text{O}_4 \).

#### Chemical Equation:

\[ \text{HC}_9\text{H}_7\text{O}_4\,(aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O}\,(l) \rightleftharpoons \text{H}_3\text{O}^+\,(aq) + \text{C}_9\text{H}_7\text{O}_4^-\,(aq) \]

---

### Task:

Using the reaction above and the definition of \( K_a \), arrange the provided tiles to construct the expression for the equilibrium constant for the given weak acid.

#### Expression for \( K_a \):

\[ K_a = \]
