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

A

ionisation fraction of acids

B

The ratio is unrelated to the `K_a` values

C

The ratio is unrelated to the molaity

D

The ratio is unrelated to the PH of the solution
