Answer:
is larger
Explanation:
, where
is the acid dissociation constant.
For a monoprotic acid e.g. HA,
and ![\frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}=\frac{K_{a}}{[H^{+}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7BK_%7Ba%7D%7D%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%7D)
So, clearly, higher the

of HF is grater than
of HCN
Hence, ![(\frac{F^{-}}{[HF]}=\frac{K_{a}(HF)}{[H^{+}]})>(\frac{CN^{-}}{[HCN]}=\frac{K_{a}(HCN)}{[H^{+}]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28%5Cfrac%7BF%5E%7B-%7D%7D%7B%5BHF%5D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7BK_%7Ba%7D%28HF%29%7D%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%7D%29%3E%28%5Cfrac%7BCN%5E%7B-%7D%7D%7B%5BHCN%5D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7BK_%7Ba%7D%28HCN%29%7D%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%7D%29)
So,
is larger
You cannot create something from nothing and similarly you cannot create less from more, if you didn't balance an equation that needs to be balanced, your product might end up equalling more or less than the total mass of the two elements combined. Which is impossible
