Question
Chapter 16.2, Problem 16.2.3SR
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The strongest and weakest acid among the given three acids has to be predicted
Concept Information:
- The polarity and bond strength, bond enthalpy determines the strength of acids.
Polarity depends on the electronegativities of the atoms involved in bonding
The largest bond enthalpy makes the bond difficult to break
- Higher the polarity, stronger will be the acid.
- Stronger the bond strength, weaker will be the acid.
- Larger the bond enthalpy, weaker will be the acid
- The strength of acids having the same central atom but differ in the number of attached oxygen atom depends on the oxidation number of the central atom
- Higher the oxidation number of the central atom, the stronger the acid is.
- Lower oxidation number of the central atom, results in weaker acid
To Predict: The strongest and weakest acid among the given three acids
