The pKa of a weak acid (p-nitrophenol) and its conjugated base (p-nitrophenolate ion) was determined by plotting pH as a function of [A-]/[HA] in order to represent the ionized and unionized regions across pH. The optimal wavelength (λm)‚ where the maximum absorbance occurs was determined by making twelve solutions where p-nitrophenol/pH is completely ionized (pH 9.0). The importance of determining the proper λm is this is
