If `Delta H_("ionisation")^(@)` for HCN and `CH_(3)COOH` are `45.2` and `2.1 KJ mol^(-1)` , which one of the following is correct ?A. `pK_(a(HCN))ltpK_(a(CH_(3)COOH))`B. `pK_(a(HCN))gtpK_(a(CH_(3)COOH))`C. `pK_(a(HCN))=pK_(a(CH_(3)COOH))`D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
More is heat of ionisation, more is stability of molecule or lesser is dissociation. Thus
`K_(a)(CH_(3)COOH)gtK_(a)(HCN)`
Therefore `pK_(a)(HCN)gtpK_(a)(CH_(3)COOH)`
