determining stronger acid

Postby Annie Ye » Thu Dec 05, 2019 1:23 pm

How do we determine which acid is stronger given the chemical formula? Is there a periodic trend?

Yes, there is a periodic trend insofar as electronegativity and atomic size play a role. Larger atoms bonded to H have weaker bonds, so they are stronger acids.
