Question
) Select all of the correct statements about the relative acid strengths of pairs of acids from the choices below.
HCl is a stronger acid than H2S because Cl is more electronegative than S.
PH3 is a stronger acid than H2S because P is larger than S.
HBr is a stronger acid than H2Se because Br is more electronegative than Se.
HIO4 is a stronger acid than HIO because it has more oxygens surrounding the central I atom.
H2SO4 is a stronger acid than HClO4 because S is larger than Cl.
HClO4 is a stronger acid than HClO3 because it has more oxygens around its central atom.
Explanation / Answer
Correct statements :
1) HCl is a stronger acid than H2S because Cl is more electronegative than S.
2) HIO4 is a stronger acid than HIO because it has more oxygens surrounding the central I atom.
3) HBr is a stronger acid than H2Se because Br is more electronegative than Se.
4) HClO4 is a stronger acid than HClO3 because it has more oxygens around its central atom.
False statements :
PH3 is a stronger acid than H2S because P is larger than S.
H2SO4 is a stronger acid than HClO4 because S is larger than Cl.
