(a) Interpretation: From the given K a values, p K a of weak acids should be calculated. Concept introduction: The weak acid does not dissociate completely in a chemical reaction thus, the ionization equation is in equilibrium. For a general reaction of ionization of weak acid as follows: HA ⇌ H + + A − The expression for dissociation constant of the reaction is as follows: K a = [ H + ] [ A − ] [ HA ] The p K a of a weak acid is defined as negative log of K a or, p K = − log K a
