Answer:

HCN

Explanation:

There are several factors that can tell us when an acid is stronger than another, which are the following:

1. The Polarity of the X - H Bond

2. Size of the X atom.

3. Charge on the acid.

4. Oxidation state of the central atom

5. Values of Ka and pKa.

From all of this factors, we can see that the exercise is already giving us values of Ka, and also we have different types of acid, not only with the form H - X

So, we will base the force of an acid by it's pKa value.

The pKa value which is calculated with the expression:

pKa = -logKa

pKa is a value that indicates how strong is the acid you are working with. This value can vary depending on factors such the charge of the acid. I f this charge can be easily distributed in resonance structures, the compound is more acidic, and therefore the pKa value is lower.

The lower the pKa, the more acidic the compound is.

So calculating the pKa on every structure we have:

HF: pKa = -log(3.5x10^-4) = 3.46

HNO2: pKa = -log(4.6x10^-4) = 3.34

HCN: pKa = -log(4.9x10^-10) = 9.31

HCOOH: pKa = -log(1.8x10^-4) = 3.74

HClO2: -log(1.1x10^-2) = 1.96

So according to all this values, we can conclude that the weakest acid is the HCN

Why the measured pressure of a gas under conditions that are very close to those that would result in condensation will be lower
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Inter-molecular forces and molecular volumes are the chief reasons for lower measured pressure

Explanation:

The kinetic theory assumes that gas particles occupy a negligible fraction of the total volume of the gas. It also assumes that the force of attraction between gas molecules is zero.

However, during high pressure, the volume of the gas particles are not negligible compare to the total gas volume and as such the volume of a real gas under such condition is higher than the Ideal gas. Vander-waal attempted to modify the ideal gas equation by subtracting the excess volume from the ideal equation. The increased volume is the reason the measured pressure of a real gas is  less than an ideal gas

On the other hand,  close to condensation, the other  assumption of negligible forces of attraction becomes invalid. As inter-molecular distances decrease, inter-molecular forces increase reducing the bombardment of the wall of the container due to restricted particle movement and lower measured gas pressure.
