Ka is an equilibrium constant for the partial ionization of "weak" acids in water. If such a weak acid is HOAc, the ionization is
HOAc = H+ + OAc-
and Ka= [H+][OAc-]/[HOAc]
Ka values range from about 10-2 to 10-14 Greater than 10-2, they are essentially strong acids, and below 10-14, they produce no more [H+] in water than would normally be observed.

The letter K is usually used to represent the equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction.All chemical reactions have a value of K associated with them.
The equilibrium constant for the dissociation of an acid is known as Ka. The larger the value of Ka, the stronger the acid.

It is the Acid Dissociation Constant
See the source site for more info about it.

ka is the dissociation constant of a weak acid. Example : for acetic acid ka = 1.8 x 10^-5 CH3COOH <---> CH3COO- + H+ ka = 1.8 x 10^-5 = [CH3COO-] [H+] / [CH3COOH] pka = - log ka In our case ka = - log 1.8 x 10^-5 = 4.74 kb is the dissociation constant of a weak base Example : for (C2H5)3 N kb = 5.2 x 10^-4 (C2H5)3N + H2O <----> (C2H5)3NH+ + OH- kb = 5.2 x 10^-4 = [(C2H5)3NH+] [ OH-] / [(C2H5)3N] pkb = - log kb In our case pkb = - log 5.2 x 10^-4 =3.28

If you're referring to K(sub)a, it refers to the ionization constant of an acid, likewise K(sub)b is the ionization constant of a base
