Answer:

pKa=3.58

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the pH defines the concentration of hydrogen:

pH=-log([H^+])

[H^+]=10^{-pH}=10^{-3.4}=3.98x10^{-4}

And the percent ionization is:

\% \ ionization=\frac{[H^+]}{[HA]}*100\%

We compute the concentration of the acid, HA:

[HA]=\frac{[H^+]}{\% \ ionization}*100\%=\frac{3.98x10^{-4}}{66\%}  *100\%\\\\

[HA]=6.03x10^{-4}

Thus, the Ka is:

Ka=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}=\frac{3.98x10^{-4}*3.98x10^{-4}}{6.03x10^{-4}}\\  \\Ka=2.63x10^{-4}

So the pKa is:

pKa=-log(Ka)=-log(2.63x10^{-4})\\\\pKa=3.58

Regards.
