strength of acids based on pKa
How can we determine the strength of a group of acids if we are only given their Ka?

Re: strength of acids based on pKa
We can determine the strength of a group of acids by comparing their Ka values. The larger the Ka value, the smaller the pka value would be, and therefore the stronger the acid would be. So the acids with the largest Ka would be stronger.
