Among the given pairs of cyanohydrins, the one that has the greater dissociation constant is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Cyanohydrins refer to those compounds that consist of a hydroxy group and a nitrile group attached to the same carbon atom. They dissociate to produce hydrogen cyanide and one equivalent of an aldehyde or ketone on the basis of the structure of the starting material. The equilibrium constant for the dissociation process have been experimentally measured for a wide number of cyanohydrins.
