Concept introduction:
pKa: It is introduced as an index to express the acidity of weak acids, where
In aqueous solution an acid undergoes ionization. The ionization of an acid is can be expressed in terms of equilibrium constant. The quantitative measurement tells about the strength of the acid. Higher the value of
The dissociation constant for the acid is
For simplifications
