Stength of Acid

[claire ikemiya_2I]

So, in a review session I learned that a compound with a larger surface area contains stronger LDF. Translating that to the last topic we learned, would a compound with larger surface area be a weaker acid since it would be harder to give up electrons?

Fancy seeing you here. I'm pretty sure that this is a correct assumption, but it's important to note that there is a difference between compound surface area and atom size. Since an increase in atom size means an increase in bond length, this weakens the bond and overall strengthens the acid. Hopefully this helped :)

On one of the HW assignments I have to arrange aqueous solutions (assuming equal concentration) of various acids and bases according to the pH scale. I know HF is a weak acid since it doesn't disassociate completely but it should still have the lowest pH if it's aqueous correct?

So I guess I'm asking why would HF have a higher pH than HCl, I searched this up and it says HF has a lower pH but not according to the homework solution.
