(a)
Interpretation:
The stronger acid has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Relative Acid strength: As going down the group, the size of the atoms increases. The larger the size, the negative charge can be easily polarizable over the larger volume of the atom. Hence, the proton attached to the larger sized atom, the acid becomes the stronger.

- Use Table 14.3 to help order the following acids from strongest to weakest HNO3,H2O,NH4+,C5H5NH+arrow_forward. A strong acid has a weak conjugate base, whereas a weak acid has a relatively strong conjugate base. Explain.arrow_forwardSeveral acids and their respective equilibrium constants are: Which is the strongest acid? Which is the weakest acid? Which acid has the weakest conjugate base? Which acid has the strongest conjugate base?arrow_forward
