Calculation path
Convert a positive acid dissociation constant to its base-10 logarithmic pKa. The page evaluates the displayed equation from your supplied values and presents both symbolic and substituted KaTeX working so the arithmetic can be checked.
Calculation path
pKa = -log10(Ka)
What you receive
What you receive

Choose the maximum decimal places shown. This does not increase source accuracy.
Ka must be dimensionless under its standard-state definition and tied to a stated temperature.
Use internally consistent units and retain extra precision when carrying the result into another calculation.
