A reaction takes place in presence of . The rate constant of the reaction in presence of
is
and the rate constant in presence of acid
is
. Which of the following statements is true?
Equilibrium constant of the reaction is 2
Equilibrium constant of the reaction is 1.6.
HX is a stronger acid than HY.
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.
