The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information about the monobasic acids P, Q, and R based on their dissociation constants (Ka) and concentrations. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Ka Values**: - For acid P: \( K_a = 10^{-6} \) - For acid Q: \( K_a = 10^{-8} \) - For acid R: \( K_a = 10^{-10} \) 2. **Understand the Relationship Between Ka and Acidity**: - The strength of an acid is directly related to its \( K_a \) value. A higher \( K_a \) indicates a stronger acid because it means the acid dissociates more in solution, releasing more hydrogen ions (H⁺). 3. **Rank the Acids Based on Ka Values**: - Comparing the \( K_a \) values: - P has the highest \( K_a \) (10⁻⁶), making it the strongest acid. - Q has a \( K_a \) of 10⁻⁸, making it weaker than P but stronger than R. - R has the lowest \( K_a \) (10⁻¹⁰), making it the weakest acid. - Therefore, the order of acidity is: - Strongest: P > Q > R : Weakest 4. **Evaluate the Given Statements**: - P is the weakest acid: **False** (P is the strongest acid) - Q is the strongest acid: **False** (P is the strongest acid) - R is the weakest acid: **True** (R is indeed the weakest acid) - R is the strongest acid: **False** (R is the weakest acid) 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct statement is: **R is the weakest acid**. ### Final Answer: The true statement is: **R is the weakest acid**. ---
