Question 15

Multiple Choice

Since pKa = -log Ka, which of the following is a correct statement?


A) acetic acid (pKa = 4.7) is stronger than lactic acid, (pKa = 3.9)
B) lactic acid, (pKa = 3.9) is weaker than all forms of phosphoric acid, (pKa = 2.1, 6.9 and 12.4)
C) since the pKa for conversion of the ammonium ion to ammonia is 9.25, ammonia is a weaker base then the acetate ion
D) for carbonic acid with pKa values of 6.3 and 10.3, the bicarbonate ion is a stronger base than the carbonate ion
E) none of the above
