Interpretation:
The stronger acids from given sets of compounds should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Strong Acids: Acids that dissociates into ions completely which results in easy donation of protons are considered as strong acids. Strong acid forms weaker conjugated base.
Weak Acids: Acids that do not easily dissociate into ions completely which has difficulty in proton donation are considered as weak acids. Weak acid forms stronger conjugated base
If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.
