Consider three generic acids: HX, HY, and HZ Rank these acids according to strength.
♦ Relevant knowledge
Conjugate Acid Strength
An acid that is conjugate can be described as chemical substance which differs from a base due to adding one hydrogen atom. The products of an acid base reaction are therefore the conjugate acid of the base and conjugate base of the acid. Also, the products are also acid or base. The course of the reaction will favor more acidic and more solid base as reactants. This is because H+ will always be transferred into the base that is stronger.
The principle used to solve this issue is the ability of acid.
It is the level of dissociation in an acid which determines the strength of an acid. Acids that dissociate completely to produce a high concentration of H+ ions is a high-quality acid, while an acid that dissociates only partially and results in a low amount of H+ ions is considered to be weak.
The term “Bronsted acid” refers to a Bronsted acid happens to be a compound that can donate protons and the Bronsted base happens to be a chemical capable of accepting proton (H+ion) . Thus Bronsted acid is Bronsted acid acts as a proton donor, and the Bronsted base is an acceptor of proton.
