Question

Select all of the correct statements about the relative acid strengths of pairs of acids from the choices below. HCI is a stronger acid than H_2S because CI is more electronegative than S. H_2O is a stronger acid than HF because O is larger than F. HF is a stronger acid than HCI because F is more electronegative than CI. HBrO_4 is a stronger acid than H_2SeO_4 because Br is more electronegative than Se. H_2SeO_4 is a stronger acid than H_2SO_4 because Se is larger than S. H_2O is a stronger acid than NH_3 because O is more electronegative than N.

Explanation / Answer

HCl > H2S, due to electronegativity is CORRECT

H2O < HF, since HF haf F which is more electronegative --> false

False, HF is so electronegative, that only partially F- will b ei nsolution

HBrO4 --> Br is in fact, more electronegative, so this is TRUE

H2SeO4, false, since being larger will lower its strength (due to polarity)

In reality, Nitrogen will attract H+ ions the most, therefore, this must be true as well
