Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The stronger acid has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Acid and its conjugate base: An acid is a species that can lose a proton. When an acid loses a proton
Relative acid strength: When acids have protons attached to atoms in similar size (same period elements), the strongest acid in the one with the proton attached to the more electronegative atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
The stronger acid has to be determined.
