Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The $\text{p}{K}_{\text{a}}$ value of the given indicated bond is to be estimated.

Concept introduction: The equilibrium constant of an acid dissociation reaction depends on the strength of an acid involved in the reaction. The $K_{\text{a}}$ value is large for strong acids and small for weak acids. The stronger acid has a lower value of $\text{p}{K}_{\text{a}}$ and the weaker acid has a higher $\text{p}{K}_{\text{a}}$ value.
