The \(\mathrm{p} K_a\) values of four carboxylic acids are given below. Identify the weakest carboxylic acid.

  1. A \(4.89\)
  2. B \(1.28\)
  3. C \(4.76\)
  4. D \(2.56\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4.89\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The more the value of \(\mathrm{p} K_{\mathrm{a}}\), compound will be less acidic indicating the less value of \(K_a\) and smaller the value of \(\mathrm{pK} K_a\), the compound will be more acidic, i.e., there will be more the value of \(K_a\).
