The acid dissociation constant as an equilibrium constant is affected by temperature. Right? Thus, could someone tell me if the reaction between a general acid and water:
HA(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ A-(aq) + H3O+(aq)
is exothermic or endothermic?
I think it is endothermic by similiarity with water auto-ionization reaction.
