Calculating Ka using pH?

Calculate Ka for a 0.100M solution of sulfurous acid (H2SO3) if pH = 1.48

H2SO3 --> H + HSO3

So, would I calculate H's molarity (concentration) and then somehow plug it in?

Any help is greatly appreciated

    The title of the above file is this:

    "Calculate the Ka of a weak acid given the pH and molarity"

    "So, would I calculate H's molarity (concentration) and then somehow plug it in? "

    That's exactly what you will do. There's a bit more, but what you are saying is heading down the correct path.
