(a)
Interpretation:
The stronger acid out of
Concept Introduction:
The acidic strength is determined by the ease with which the acid can donate a proton in an aqueous solution. This is determined on the basis of electronegativity of the atoms. Higher the electronegativity more is the electron pair shifted in the vicinity of the electronegative atom, thus more readily the proton can be lost.

Interpretation:
The stronger acid out of

The most common representation of oxyacid is given by

- Which of each pair of acids is stronger? Why? (a) HClO3, HClO4 (b) H2S, H2Searrow_forwardConsider the following four biological solutions: (1) bile, pH 8.0, (2) blood, pH 7.4, (3) urine, pH 6.0, and (4) gastric juice, pH 1.6. a. Which solution has the lowest [H3O+]? b. Which solution has the lowest [OH]? c. List the solutions in order of decreasing acidity. d. List the solutions in order of increasing basicity.arrow_forwardConsider the following four solutions: (1) apple juice, pH 3.8, (2) pickle juice, pH 3.5, (3) carbonated beverage, pH 3.0, and (4) drinking water, pH 7.2. a. Which solution has the highest [H3O+]? b. Which solution has the highest [OH]? c. List the solutions in order of increasing acidity. d. List the solutions in order of decreasing basicity.arrow_forward
- Use Table 14.3 to help order the following acids from strongest to weakest HNO3,H2O,NH4+,C5H5NH+arrow_forwardYou are asked for the H+ concentration in a solution of NaOH(aq). Because sodium hydroxide is a strong base, can we say there is no H+. since having H+ would imply that the solution is acidic?arrow_forward1. Which of the following can act as a Lewis acid? (Hint : In each case, draw the Lewis electron dot structure of the molecule or ion. Are there lone pairs of electrons on the central atom? If so, it can be a Lewis base. Does the central atom lack an electron pair? If so, it can behave as a Lewis acid.) PH3 BCl3 H2S HS−arrow_forward
