What is the value of Pk?

You can determine ph if you know your pka value.

With the pH at its pKa there's more ease and chance in losing a hydrogen atom enabling it to act as a buffer.

The evidence is proven in organic applications in biochemistry.

A polyprotic acid contains more than one acidic hydrogen.
If H3Po4 dissolved in solution following equilibria observed.
H3PO4=====>HPO4-2 (hydrogen phosphate anion) +PO4-3 (phosphate anion) ;.
