ASolubility product
BRate law constant
CBoiling point constant
DAcid-ionization constant
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Acid-ionization constant
1. Every equilibrium has its own constant, named for the reaction it describes.
2. For acid ionization the constant is written Ka.
3. The equilibrium constant for an acid is called the acid-ionization constant.
4. Its value reports how far the acid ionises in water.
