The smaller the value of Pka:
Correct answer: C. The stronger the acid
- A. The weaker the base
- B. The stronger the base
- C. The stronger the acid
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Ka is directly proportional to acidic behaviour.. Ka is inversaly proportional to pKa. The acids having smallest pKA value will be strongest acids. Since its value is smallest of all given options. It is the strongest acid.

About Acids, Bases and Salts
Acid and base behaviour is explained through the Bronsted-Lowry transfer of protons and the Lewis donation or acceptance of electron pairs. The topic includes pH, pOH, ionisation and water equilibrium, plus salt formation and hydrolysis, where a salt solution may become acidic, basic or neutral.
