Look at the table of dissociation constants for some acids. Acid Ka Acetic acid 18 x 10-6 1.2 x 10-2 Chlorous acid Nitrous acid 4.0 x 10 -4 Propionic acid 1.3 x 10-5

Which of these is the strongest acid?

acetic acid
chlorous acid
nitrous acid
propionic acid

*Answer is B*​

chlorous acid

Explanation:

The acidic equilibrium of weak acids, HX, occurs as follows:

HX ⇄ H+ + X-

Where Ka is written as:

Ka = [H+] [X-] / [HX]

The strongest acid is the acid that produce more H+. The acid with the higher Ka is the acid that produce more [H+] and is, thus, the strongest acid.

The higher Ka is the Ka of chlorus acid = 1.2x10-2

Right answer is:

chlorous acid
