What does pKa of a substance tell us? What can we understand by looking at the pKa of a substance?
Thanks!

pKa is a measure of acidity.
Start here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_dissociation_constant
Or look it up in any chemistry textbook.

Thanks Dan!
But the point that I can't understand is how can someone decide if a reaction can occur looking at the pKa values?
Thanks!
