### Educational Exercise: Constructing the Ka Expression for a Weak Acid

#### Objective:
To construct the expression for the acid dissociation constant (Ka) for the weak acid, \( \text{NH}_4^+ \).

#### Reaction:
\[ \text{NH}_4^+ (\text{aq}) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (\text{l}) \rightleftharpoons \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ (\text{aq}) + \text{NH}_3 (\text{aq}) \]

#### Instruction:
Based on the definition of \( K_a \), drag the tiles to construct the expression for the given acid.

#### Expression for \( K_a \):
\[ K_a = \frac{\left[\text{H}_3\text{O}^+\right] \left[\text{NH}_3\right]}{\left[\text{NH}_4^+\right]} \]

#### Available Tiles:
- \([\text{H}_2\text{O}]\)
- \([\text{H}_3\text{O}^+]\)
- \([\text{OH}^-]\)
- \([\text{NH}_4^+]\)
- \([\text{NH}_3]\)
- \([\text{NH}_2^-]\)
- \(2[\text{H}_2\text{O}]\)
- \(2[\text{H}_3\text{O}^+]\)
- \(2[\text{OH}^-]\)
- \(2[\text{NH}_4^+]\)
- \(2[\text{NH}_3]\)
- \(2[\text{NH}_2^-]\)
- \([\text{H}_3\text{O}^+]^2\)
- \([\text{OH}^-]^2\)
- \([\text{NH}_4^+]^2\)
- \([\text{NH}_3^2]\)
- \([\text{NH}_2^-]^2\)
