Explain the apparent paradox. HBr is a stronger acid than HCI, but HOCI is a stronger acid
than HOBR.
Explain Acid Strength and Molecular Structure?
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.
