Strong acids/weak acids
Do strong acids have K(a) values like weak acids do? Or is there even a distinction between K and K(a)?

Re: Strong acids/weak acids
All acids have a Ka value, but strong acids will have very large Ka values in comparison to weak acids as strong acids dissociate more.
Re: Strong acids/weak acids
Strong acids do have a Ka value. They have large Ka values because the higher the Ka, the more the acid dissociates. They have low pKa values.
