    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 upto 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.
