Question

Which statement correctly describes the Ka of a weak acid?
The Ka is large, and the equilibrium favors products.
The Ka is large, and the equilibrium favors reactants.
The Ka is small, and the equilibrium favors products.
The Ka is small, and the equilibrium favors reactants.

GPT-5 mini · Answer

The Ka is small, and the equilibrium favors reactants.

Explanation: A weak acid only partially ionizes, so its acid-dissociation constant (Ka) is small and the equilibrium lies to the left (more HA than H+ + A-).
