Answer :

Acid A is 10^4 = 10000 times stronger than B. This istrue if acid A has a pKa of 5 compared acid B with Pka of 9.

Acid strength is quantified by the acid dissociation constant (Ka). The acid is more potent the higher the value. A higher pka indicates lower acidity. Therefore, a weaker acid results from a greater pKa and a smaller Ka. A weaker acid is one with a higher pKa.

Since pKa = -log10(Ka), an acid is 10 times stronger for each pKa value of 1 below another. Acid A is therefore 10^4 = 10000 times stronger than acid B.
