`H_(2)S` is a stronger acid than `H_(2)O`. Explain

Answer» Hydrogen sulphide `(H_(2)S)` is a stronger acid `(K_(a)=1.0xx10^(-7))` than water `(K_(a)=1.0xx10^(-14))` because S-H bond is longer than O-H bond. Its bond dissociation enthalpy is therfore, less as compared to that of O-H bond in `H_(2)O`.
