Weak Acid Ionization Constants

Question 1

Weak Acids

Answer 1

• Weak acids reach an equilibrium
• Ionization equation:

HA(aq)+H2O(l) = H+(aq) + A-(aq)

• Equilibrium constant expression Keq = [H+][A-] divided by [HA][H2O] equals Ka

Question 2

What is the Ionization Constant?

Answer 2

Ka in the equation.
