The $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}}$ values of $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ are $1.8 \times 10^{-4}, 5 \times 10^{-10}$ and $3 \times 10^{-8}$ respectively. The correct order of their acidic strength is
  1. $\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{A}>\mathrm{C}$
  2. $\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{A}$
  3. $A>B>C$
  4. $A>C>B$

Solution

Larger the $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}}$ values, higher is the acidic strength.
