For two different acids with same concentration:A. The relative strength is expressed as `(alpha_(1))/(alpha_(2))`B. Relative strength is expressed as `(K_(a_(1)))/(K_(a_(2)))`C. Relative strength is expressed as `sqrt((K_(a_(1)))/(K_(a_(2))))`D. `(pH_(1))/(pH_(2))`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C
Let `alpha_(1)` and `alpha_(2)` be the degree of dissociation of two acids and `alpha_(1), alpha_(2)` are very small when compared to unity.
`(c alpha_(1)^(2))/(1-alpha_(1)) = K_(a_(1)) (c alpha_(2)^(2))/(1-alpha_(2)) = K_(a_(2)) rArr sqrt((K_(a_(1)))/(K_(a_(2)))) = (alpha_(1))/(alpha_(2)) = "relative strength"`
Hence choices (a) and (c) are correct while (b) and (d) are incorrect.
