1. Listed below are two organic acids and their pKa values. Calculate the acid dissociation constant, Ka, for each and indicate which of the two is the stronger acid. HC₇H₅O₂ pKa = 4.20 HC₅H₉O₂ pKa = 5.03To calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka) from the pKa value, use the formula:\[ \text{Ka} = 10^{-\text{pKa}} \]The lower the pKa value, the stronger the acid, as it indicates a higher degree of ionization.

1) The strength of an acid is related to its pKa as: Acidic Strength ∝1pKa∝Ka That is, lower the…
