The `K_(a)` value of formic acid and acetic acid are respectively `1.77 xx 10^(-4)` and `1.75 xx 10^(-5)` . The ratio of the acid strength of 0.1 N acids isA. 100B. 3.178C. 0.3D. 0.1 |

Answer» Correct Answer - B Relative strength of two weak monobasic acids of equal concentration is `("Strength of HCOOH")/("Strength of "CH_(3)COOH)=sqrt((K_(HCOOH))/(K_(CH_(3)COOH)))` `=sqrt((1.77 xx10^(-4))/(1.75 xx 10^(5)))` `=sqrt((17.7)/(1.75))=sqrt(10.11)=3.178` |
