Which of the following shows the limit of Ka value for strong acid?

Correct answer: C. Ka > 1

  • A. Ka < 10-3
  • B. Ka = 1 to 10-3
  • C. Ka > 1
  • D. Ka = 0

Explanation

The strength of an acid is determined by its ability to donate protons, which is indicated by its acid dissociation constant, Ka. A strong acid dissociates almost completely in solution, resulting in a high Ka value. Therefore, strong acids have Ka values greater than 1. Option C is correct as it correctly represents the Ka value for strong acids. Option A and B suggest Ka values that are too low for strong acids, indicating weaker acids. Option D is not feasible for an acid, as a Ka of 0 would mean no dissociation occurs.
