Interpretation: The validation corresponding to the given unknown acid, ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{NO}}_{\text{4}}$ being a stronger or a weaker acid than ${\text{HNO}}_{\text{3}}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: A strong acid dissociates completely in the solution and a weak acid dissociates partially in the solution.
