pH the Power of H

Acidic charac...

Question

Acidic character increases from HF and HI.

Open in App

Solution

The Increasing order of Acidity here will be $H F < H C l < H B r < H I$

This is because Acidity is actually nothing but the easiness with which $H^{+}$ ions are released in solution

Here in HI, Iodine has the largest size, thus weakest bond with Hydrogen and hence largest acidity.

The size of the anions increases down the group and hence the order is $H F < H C l < H B r < H I .$
