The acidity of diprotic acids in aqueous solutions increases in the orderA. `H_(2)S lt H_(2)Se lt H_(2)Te `B. `H_(2)Se lt H_(2)S lt H_(2)Te`C. `H_(2)Te lt H_(2)S lt H_(2)Se`D. `H_(2)Se lt H_(2)Te lt H_(2)S` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A As the size of the element (X) increases, the length of H-X bond increases and hence its bond strength decreases. As a result, it becomes easier to break the H-X bond to liberate `H^(+)` ions and hence the acidity increases in the order : `H_(2)S lt H_(2)Se lt H_(2)Te, ` i.e., option (a) is correct. |
