An acid with a high Ka value would mean that it is a strong acid.

When an acid has a large Ka value it means that it's a strong acid in an aqueous solution. Stronger acids have a large Ka value because they dissociate almost completely when in water. On the other hand, weak acids have small Ka values because they only partially dissociate in water.
