The pH of a 0.0200 M solution of an unknown acid is 2.56. What is the Ka of this acid? To solve this problem: Write the acid dissociation equilibrium for the generic acid “HA” Set up an ICE chart ( with x = the concentration of H3O+ at equilibrium) Write the expression for Ka. Fill this in with the concentrations of H3O+, A- and HA at equilibrium, in terms of x. What is x? Can you find it from the given information? You should be able to use the pH to get the concentration of H3O+, which is x. Do this. Now that you know x, plug in into the Ka expression and find Ka.
