What is another name for the acid dissociation constant?
a. ionization constant
b. equilibrium constant
c. rate constant
d. mole fraction

a. ionization constant

Explanation:

The acid dissociation constant is an indicative of the strength of an acid in solution i.e. extent to which it dissociates thereby releasing H+ ions. It is represented as Ka

For strong acids, Ka = 1 since they completely dissociate into the respective ions. Example is HCl

HCl → H+ + Cl-          Ka = 1

For weak acids like acetic acid (CH3COOH) there is an equilibrium between the dissociated and undissociated ions

CH3COOH ↔ H+ + CH3COO-

Since this process results in the formation of ions, Ka is also referred to as the ionisation constant.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
