Question

The pK\(_a\) values of X, Y, Z respectively are 8.3, 7.1, 10.2. What are X, Y, Z?

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Hint:

In organic chemistry, pK\(_a\) values are used to compare the strength of acids. A lower pK\(_a\) indicates a stronger acid, meaning it dissociates more readily in solution.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The given pK\(_a\) values can be associated with the strength of acids. A lower pK\(_a\) value indicates a stronger acid. By analyzing the structures and comparing their acid strengths, we can conclude that the correct structures corresponding to the given pK\(_a\) values are represented by Structure 1.
