Chapter 3, Problem 6PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pKa value for each acid is to be determined, and the stronger acid is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The negative logarithm of Ka gives the value of pKa. Mathematically, it is expressed as follows:

pKa= log (Ka)

The larger the value of pKa, the weaker is the acid.
