| acid dissociation constant |
This is equal to the ratio of the concentrations of an acid's conjugate base and the acid present when a weak acid dissociates in water. That is, if you have a solution of Acid X where the concentration of the conjugate base is 0.5 M and the concentration of the acid is 10 M, the acid dissociation constant is 0.5/10 = 0.05.

| acidosis |
A metabolic condition in which the acid content of the blood or body tissues is too great. It may result from failure of the lungs to remove carbon dioxide (respiratory acidosis) or from an over production of acid substances in the body's tissues (metabolic acidosis).
