Chapter 16, Problem 16.62SP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The strongest acid from the group of compounds $\left({\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O,HF,HCl}\right)$ needs to be identified.

Concept introduction:

A chemical species that accepts electrons and donates protons or hydrogen ions is known as acid. In most acids, hydrogen atoms bond to yield anion and cation in water.

The pH value of acid is less than 7, and the pH value of base higher than 7.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The strongest acid from the group of compounds $\left({\text{HClO}}_{\text{2}}{\text{,HClO}}_{\text{3}}{\text{HBrO}}_{\text{3}}\right)$ needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

A chemical species that accepts electrons and donates protons or hydrogen ions is known as acid. In most acids, hydrogen atoms bonded that release to yield anion and cation in water.

The pH value of acid is less than 7, and the pH value of base higher than 7.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The strongest acid from the group of compounds $\left({\text{HBr,H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{S,H}}_{\text{2}}\text{Se}\right)$ needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

A chemical species that accepts electrons and donates protons or hydrogen ions is known as acid. In most acids, hydrogen atoms bonded that release to yield anion and cation in water.

The pH value of acid is less than 7, and the pH value of base higher than 7.
