This lecture covers the calculation of the acid dissociation constant (Ka) for weak acids in aqueous solutions. It explains the relationship between pH, pKa, and the degree of ionization, providing examples and step-by-step calculations. The lecture also discusses the influence of temperature on Ka values and the concept of acid strength. Various types of acid-base equilibria are explored, including the effect of adding salts to weak acid solutions.
