Convert between Ka and pKa for an acid.
| Result | – |
Use this calculator when a table mixes Ka and pKa and you need the one-line conversion before Henderson–Hasselbalch.
The calculation is pKa = −log₁₀ Ka, and Ka = 10^(−pKa). Type Ka as a number such as 1.8e-5, not as a pKa.
This is the definition only. It does not convert Kb or pKb, and it does not apply a temperature correction to Ka.
Convert: Ka to pKa, or the other way.
Ka or pKa: Ka (for example 1.8e-5 for acetic acid) or pKa (for example 4.76), matching the mode.
Result: pKa as a number, or Ka in scientific notation.
