Explanation:
- When an aqueous solution of a certain acid is prepared it is dissociated is as follows-
⇄
Here HA is a protonic acid such as acetic acid,
- The double arrow signifies that it is an equilibrium process, which means the dissociation and recombination of the acid occur simultaneously.
- The acid dissociation constant can be given by -
=
- The reaction is can also be represented by Bronsted and lowry -
⇄
- Then the dissociation constant will be
=
Here, is the dissociation constant of an acid.
