Chapter 17, Problem 4CR

How is the strength of an acid related to the position of its ionization equilibrium? Write the equations for the dissociation (ionization) of HCI, HNO₃, and HClO₄in water. Since all these acids are strong acids, what does this indicate about the basicity of the Cl^-, ${\text{NO}}_3{}^{-}$, and ${\text{ClO}}_4{}^{-}$ions? Are aqueous solutions of NaCl, NaNO₃, or NaClO₄basic?
