Solution

The acidic nature of halogen acids in methanoic acid is
HF>HCl>HBr>HI
It is based on the electronegativity difference between H and haloge.
F2 is most electronegative and I2 is the least electronegative.
Thus, the electronegativity difference is maximum in HF and minimum in HI.
HF is the most ionic and strongest acid in methanoic acid whereas HI is
least ionic and weakest acid in methanoic acid.
