Whose hydrogen or proton is more acidic, NH2 or OH?
Fluorosulfuric acid (HSO3F) is considered a superacid because it is stronger than sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The H2SO4 structure can be changed to HSO3F by simply replacing an -OH group with a F atom. With this in mind, explain why HSO3F is a stronger acid than H2SO4.

- Which acid do you think would have the lower pKa value: HBrO4, HBrO3, HBrO2, or HBrO? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardSalicylic acid, HOC6H4CO2H, and its derivatives have been used as pain relievers for a long time. Salicylic acid occurs in small amounts in the leaves, bark, and roots of some vegetation (most notably historically in the bark of the willow tree). Extracts of these plants have been used as medications for centuries. The acid was first isolated in the laboratory in 1838.

- Based on their molecular structures, determine if each statement about the acid strength is True or False. 1) H2S is a stronger acid than HCl, because H−S bond is more polar than H−Cl bond. 2) HIO3 is a stronger acid than HIO because HIO3 has more O atoms bonded to I. 3) HBrO is a stronger acid than HIO because Br is more electronegative than I.arrow_forwardWhich statement correctly explains why H2S is a stronger acid than water? Sulfur (S) has a larger atomic size than oxygen (0), so HS- is a more stable, strong acid than OH-. Sulfur (S) has a larger atomic size than oxygen (0), so HS- is a more stable, weaker base than OH-. Sulfur (S) has a larger atomic size than oxygen (0), so H2S is a more stable, weaker base than H20. Sulfur (S) has a larger atomic size than oxygen (0), so H2S is a more stable, stronger acid than H20.
