Lower the pKa value means
Correct answer: D. Higher Ka value
- A. Strong acidic solution
- B. Lower pH of solution
- C. [OH-] > [H+]
- D. Higher Ka value
Explanation
The pKa value is the negative logarithm of the acid dissociation constant (Ka). A lower pKa value indicates a higher Ka value, suggesting that the acid dissociates more completely in solution, thus it is a stronger acid. Therefore, Option D is correct. Option A is incorrect because a strong acidic solution relates to low pH, not directly to pKa. Option B is incorrect as lower pKa does not always mean lower pH without considering the acid concentration. Option C is incorrect because a lower pKa suggests more H+ ions, not OH- ions.
