pKa, Ka, and relative acid strength

[Clarissa Cabil 1I]

Just to clarify,

the larger the Ka, the stronger the acid

and

the lower the pKa, the stronger the acid?

[Kim Tran 1J]

Yes, you are right.

The larger the Ka, the stronger the acid. The smaller the pKa, the stronger the acid
And the same applies for bases, the larger the Kb, the stronger the base. The smaller the pKb, the stronger the base

[Grace Kim 1J]

You are correct!

I believe it is the same for bases; decreasing pKb and increasing Kb will correspond to increasing base strength.

An example of this concept can be found in 12.39 in the 6th edition.

[Sarah Fatkin 4I]

You're right! Because pKa is the -log of Ka, when Ka is larger and the acid is stronger, pKa is decreased.
