Question
Chapter 8, Problem 78P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Why the pure water does not conduct
Concept Introduction:
The electric current is conducted by a substance with free ions in the solution. The movement of these ions carry the charge from one place to another resulting electric current conduction. The self ionization recation of water is represented as follows:

The acid strength is HCl > HNO3 > HF > HOCl, but I don't understand why the lengths vary like this. Or does it have to do with electronegativity? If it does have to do with electronegativity, why doesn't HF have the shortest length? Or is it because OCl- is more elctronegatvie than F-? Also, does an acid's strength decrease/increase with increasing electronegativity of its conjugate base? When looking at the trend, HI is stronger than HBr, which is stronger than HCl. However, HClO4 is stronger than all of these acids, which I don't understand why.arrow_forward
