Carbonic acid is a weak acid. Its weak ionization constant (Ka) is equal to:

Ka = [H⁺] [HCO₃⁻] / [H₂CO₃]

A weak acid is an acid that dissociates partially in the water.

The equation for the acid dissociation of carbonic acid is:

H₂CO₃ ⇄ H⁺ + HCO₃⁻

The weak ionization constant (Ka) is the equilibrium constant for this reaction, that is, the product of the concentration of the products divided by the product of the concentrations of the reactants, all of them raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

Ka = [H⁺] [HCO₃⁻] / [H₂CO₃]

Carbonic acid is a weak acid. Its weak ionization constant (Ka) is equal to:

Ka = [H⁺] [HCO₃⁻] / [H₂CO₃]
