Explain the acidic strength of halo acids. OR Write a short note on the acidic strength of hydrogen halides.

Answer»
  • The acidic strength of haloacids vary in the following order, HF < HCl < BHr < HI 
  • The stability of hydrogen halides decreases down the group. HF > HCl > HBr > HI. 
  • This is because from F to I, atomic size increases and bond dissociation enthalpy of H-X decreases.
