The pKa values of HCl is -7.0 and that of HI is -10.0. Which is the stronger acid?

Answer»

For HCl, pKa = -7.0, hence its dissoClation constant is, Ka = 1 x 10-7

For HI pKa = – 10.0, hence its dissoClation constant is Ka = 1 x 10-7

Hence HCl dissoClates more than HI. 

Therefore HCl is a stronger acid than HI.
