what is the acid dissociation constant Ka or water?
the answer is 1.8x10^-16

please explain your answer
 
isnt that just something thats given? I doubt that we'd have to memorize something like that. And I dont think theres anyway to calculate it with just that much info. All I can tell you is the pKa is ~16 which is about right since water is a weak acid...
