Re: KA1>KA2>KA3
Ka refers to the ionization constant, or the [H+] and [A-] divided by the [HA]. Therefore, in a reaction that may have acids such as H3PO4, the acids can dissociate thrice. In this case, the Ka1, the removal of the first hydrogen will be higher than Ka2 and so forth

Because the intramolecular forces are extremely strong in the molecule. The dipole moment in the molecule most definitely shifts away from the hydrogen which pulls it towards the molecule and thus is harder to separate from it. It is a weak acid if it has a strong bond and vice versa
