Answer:

The acid dissociation constant, also called the acid-ionization constant, represents the equilibrium constant of a given chemical reaction, which is denoted by the symbol Ka.

It gives the measure of the acidic strength of a chemical substance or the dissociation of an acid in a solution and is represented as the ratio of concentrations of product and the reactants, at equilibrium.
