Salicylic acid is also known as 2-Hydroxybenzoic acid. The literature Ka value is 2x10 to the negative 14th power. Which makes salicylic acid a somewhat strong acid.

Ka = ([H+][A-])/[HA]) Let concentration of dissociated acrylic acid be x. 0.000056 = (x2)/(0.10 - x) Rearrange: 0.0000056 - 0.000056x - x2 = 0 x = 0.002339 Therefore: [H+] = 0.002339 M pH = -log[H+] = 2.63 Percent dissociation: 0.002339/0.10 = 0.02339 = 2.34 %

3.9 x 10^-6 The above value could be true. However, it also depends on the concentration of the acid and base at that given experiment. In a general sense, it would have a Ka value of somewhere in the 10^-6 range. P.S. Correct me if I am wrong by any given chance
According to CRC reference data, the pKa of sulfamic acid is 1.05, giving a Ka of 11.2. This is a strong acid.
NaOH does not have a Ka because it is not an acid. Ka is the concentration of the acid, therefore non valid. It can have a Kb though. Hope this helps
if you mean why is it when [H+] = [A-] related to the Ka of a weak acid. look at the definition of Ka. Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]
ka= 1.62 x 10^-12
1 x 109
For a weak acid, the value of Ka gives one an indication of the degree to which that weak acid will dissociate. This then gives one an idea of the acidity of that weak acid, and it can be easily compared to other weak acids.
You can do it with a pH probe, or, if you are given the Ka value for phosphoric acid, you can do some math and figure it out.
some of the acid has dissociated APEX
No. An acid with a large Ka is stronger. A lower pKa indicates a stronger acid.
This is a relatively easy question. First, you should have your chemical equation. HA + h20 <---> A^1- + H30^1+ Basically Ka is our ionization constant. The simple formula for this is Products / Reactants. Water is excluded because it doesnt contribute to the Ka although it acts as a Bronsted-Lowry Base on the left side of the equation. So the Ka of a weak acid should be : Ka = [H30^1+] X [A^1-] / [HA] A^- is the conjugate base of the weak acid. If they give u Kb value its even easier. You should have learned that Kw = [Ka] x [Kb] Kw at 25 degrees celsius should always be 1.00 x 10^-14. So if they give you kb.... Ka = 1.00 x 10^-14 / Kb value. I hope this helped! Galvin H
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.
