I got this from kaplan blue book"
for weak acid, Ka < 1 since [HA] > [H+][A-]. If Ka < 1, then pKa > 1.
but I thought you have more dissociated H+ in weak acid than HA. You need to have H+ in order to make acdic solution According to Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA], Ka would be greater than 1 since [H+] > [HA]. Am I making the wrong assumption somewhere? Thanks
