    The table lists pKa values for various acids and their conjugate bases. pKa values indicate the pH at which an acid is half dissociated into its conjugate base. Acids at the top of the list such as H2SO4 and HCl have strongly negative pKa values, meaning they are completely dissociated even at low pH. Weaker acids toward the bottom such as carboxylic acids and amines have positive pKa values near physiological pH, indicating partial dissociation. The pKa provides a measure of acid strength that is useful in understanding acid-base chemistry in biological systems.
