The acid dissociation constant (Ka) is the measure of strength of an acid in solution. Symbolically, as HA is added to solution it breaks down into a proton (H+) and it's conjugate base (A-). The value of Ka is equal to products over reactants (aqueous only i.e. no solids or liquids) . Once you solve for Ka, you can solve for the pKa which is equal to -logKa. The pKa will determine if the acid is weak or strong. Strong acids are more willing to dissociate in water and have a pKa value of <-2. The pKa of ascorbic acid is only 4.2, and so it is a weak acid.
The pKa of ascorbic acid is only 4.2, so it is a weak acid. You can calculate the percent dissociation of a 0.1 M ascorbic acid solution using its Ka, and you will find that it is a small value.
strong and weak
No, it's a weak acid and there are no other ionic groups in it, so it is also a weak electrolyte.
It may be Acetic acid , Ascorbic acid and some other organic acids.

No, like other organic acids it is weak.
Ascorbic Acid is the chemical name for Vitamin C.
Yes... cabbage do have ascorbic acid.
Ascorbic acid is not volatile.
