Practice Problem: Calculations Involving pH and Ka

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka) of a weak acid using pH and PKA values. It begins with an introduction to the problem, followed by setting up the acid-base equilibrium and writing the Ka expression. The tutorial then demonstrates the use of the ICE box method to determine equilibrium concentrations. Finally, it shows how to calculate the Ka value using the given pH and the equilibrium concentrations derived from the ICE box.
