Acetic acid and propionic acid have `K_(a)` values `1.75xx10^(-5)` and `1.3xx10^(-5)` respectively at a cetrain temperature. An equimolar solution of a mixture, of the two acids is partially neutralised by NaOH. How is the ratio of the contents of acetate and propionate ions related to the `K_(a)` values and the molarity ?

Options

A. `((alpha)/(1-alpha))=(1.75)/(1.3)xx((beta)/(1-beta))`, where a and `beta` are ionized fractions of the acids
B. The ratio of unrelated to the `K_(a)` values
C. The ratio of unrelated to the molarity
D. The ratio is unrelated to the pH of the solution

Answer

A
