Are you asking how #pK_a# relates to pressure measurement?

Explanation:

#pK_a# relates to an equilibrium phenomenon; #mm# #Hg# is a measurement of pressure. Most measurements of #pK_a# specify standard conditions, i.e. #1# #atm# (#=# #760# #mm# #Hg#), and #298# #K#, but there is no real relationship between acidity and pressure.
