Linear free, dissociation constant question

I need to determine the Ka of some phenylboric acids, i have the the temperature σ, K and p, and think i need the hammet equation rearranged but not sure how to apply it. Any help would be good cheers :smile:

Hammett: log (K/K₀) = σp

rearrange simple logarithms (in elementary mathematics for chemistry/any sciences in general - you gotta be able to do this though).

K/K₀ = exp (σp)

I think your Ka in this case would be the K₀.
Make that the subject of your formula.
