`pK_(a)` values of two acids A and B are 4 and 5. The strengths of these two acids are related asA. Acid A is 10 times stronger than acids BB. Strength of acid A : strength of acid B = 4:5C. The strengths of the two acids can not be comparedD. Acid B is 10 times stronger than acid A

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`pK_(a)` of acid A =4 , `pK_(a)` of acid B = 5
We Know that `pK_(a) = -log K_(a)`
`:.` Acid A `K_(a) = 10^(-4)`, Acid `B K_(a) = 10^(-5)`
Hence A is ten times stronger than that of B.
