    Select the \[_{p}{{K}_{a}}\] value of the strongest acid from the following:

    A)  \[1.0\]              

    B)  \[3.0\]

    C)  \[2.0\]

    D)  \[4.5\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The acid is called strong acid when it ionise up to great extent i.e. if its \[{{K}_{a}}\]value is large. We know that, \[_{p}{{K}_{a}}=\log \frac{1}{{{K}_{a}}}\] Hence, larger the value of Ka, smaller will be the value of \[_{p}{{K}_{a}}\]. Hence, low value of \[_{p}{{K}_{a}}\] means that acid is strong.
