An acid dissociation constant, Ka, (also known as acidity constant, or acid-ionization constant) is a quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution. Each acid has a different pKa. It is the equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction known as dissociation in the context of acid-base reactions. The larger the Ka value, the more dissociation of the molecules in solution and thus the stronger the acid.
the reaction is
HA ===>H+ +A -
Ka =[H+][A-]/[HA]
