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. |
