Convert experimental amounts into acid concentration, convert pH into [H+] and then substitute the equilibrium concentrations into the Ka expression.

How this is tested

  • Calculate acid concentration from mass and volume before converting pH to [H+].
  • Substitute [H+] and remaining acid concentration into Ka, then state mol dm-3 units.
