Question

which is the stronger acid in aqueous solution HF or Hcl

Open in App

Solution

The more easily an acid can furnish H⁺ ionsin solution, the more stronger the acid is.
The size of Cl^- ion being larger than F^- ion, the HCl bond is weaker than HF bond.
So HCl can dissociate more easily in water to liberate H⁺ ions and hence is a stronger acid.
