(a)
Interpretation:
The strong acid from A and B if A dissociates to a greater extent in water needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory was purposed by Bronsted and Lowery is called Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory. It states that acid can give
A strong acid shows complete dissociation to respective anion and
The strength of acid can be determined with the help of acid dissociation constant also. For acid HA the acid dissociation constant in its aqueous solution can be written as:
Here the equilibrium constant is called as acid dissociation constant. It is denoted as
(b)
Interpretation:
The strong acid from A and B, if A has smaller value of

Here, the equilibrium constant is called as acid dissociation constant. It is denoted as
(c)
Interpretation:
The strong acid from A and B, if the conjugated base of A is stronger than conjugated base of B needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory was purposed by Bronsted and Lowery is called Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory. It states that acid can give
A strong acid shows complete dissociation to respective anion and
A strong acid forms a weak conjugated base whereas, a weak acid forms a strong conjugated base.

- . A strong acid has a weak conjugate base, whereas a weak acid has a relatively strong conjugate base. Explain.arrow_forwardFor oxyacids, how does acid strength depend on a. the strength of the bond to the acidic hydrogen atom? b. the electronegativity of the element bonded to the oxygen atom that bears the acidic hydrogen? c. the number of oxygen atoms? How does the strength of a conjugate base depend on these factors? What type of solution forms when a nonmetal oxide dissolves in water? Give an example of such an oxide. What type of solution forms when a metal oxide dissolves in water? Give an example of such an oxide.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
- Solution A has a pH of 2.0. Solution B has a pH of 5.0 Which solution is more acidic? Based on the H+ ion concentrations in the two solutions, how many times more acidic?arrow_forwardMark each of the following statements True or False: a. The conjugate base of a strong acid is always a weak base. b. The conjugate acid of a strong base is always a weak acid. c. The stronger the acid, the weaker its conjugate base, and vice versa.arrow_forwardUse Table 14.3 to help order the following acids from strongest to weakest HNO3,H2O,NH4+,C5H5NH+arrow_forward
