A reaction takes place in presence of \mathrm{H^{+}}. The rate constant of the reaction in presence of \mathrm{HX} is \mathrm{4 \times 10^{3} s^{-1}} and the rate constant in presence of acid \mathrm{HY} is \mathrm{2.5 \times 10^{3} s^{-1}}. Which of the following statements is true?

Option: 1

Equilibrium constant of the reaction is 2


Option: 2

Equilibrium constant of the reaction is 1.6.


Option: 3

HX is a stronger acid than HY.


Option: 4

HX has a lower dissociation constant than HY.

HX is stronger acid and dissociates more and catalyses the reaction faster than the HY.

Hence option 3 is correct.
