COMEDK · Chemistry · 8. Ionic Equilibrium

Select the \(\mathrm{p} K_{a}\) value of the strongest acid from the following.

  1. A 2
  2. B 4.5
  3. C 1
  4. D 3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The acidic strength of an acid increase with ionisation. The value of \(\mathrm{p} K_{a}\) is inversely proportional to ionisation constant \(\left(\bar{K}_{a}\right)\). \(\therefore\) The acid with \(\mathrm{p} K_{a}\) value \(1.0\) is strongest.
