$HCH_{3}SO_{2}$

$H_{3}PO_{3}$

$HClO_{2}$

Explanation:

Every acid (HA) tends to disolve into proton ( $H^{+}$ ) and anion ( $A^{-}$ ) in aqueous solution. Acid strength can be determined by measuring this tendency to separate into proton an anion. Strength of an acid can be quantified by its acid dissociation value - Ka. A strong acid will have a tendency to easily release proton and will have larger Ka value and smaller logarithmic value (pKa = - logKa) similar to calculating pH of the solution. So the easiest way to resolve this issue is by looking for Ka or pKa value of the acid (This table may be useful in more complex tasks and is attached below). However, stronger acid can be determined elsehow.

a) Carbon is element 14 with 4 valent electrons and sulfur is element 16 with 6 valence electrons. Thus, sulfur has stronger electronegativity (tendency to attract bonded electrons towards itself). This means that sulfur will hold oxygen tighter to itself so the hydrogen bond to it can be more easily separated from it. $HCH_{3}SO_{2}$ is more acidic in aqueous solution.

b) In $H_{3}PO_{4}$ , phosphorus holds one double bond with oxygen and three OH group equally. To show an acidic tendency, phosphorus would need to let go one hydrogen out of one of OH groups. In $H_{3}PO_{3}$ , phosporus holds two double bong with oxygen, one OH and one hydrogen, all single and lonely, ready to leave phosphorus and show acidic characteristics in aqueous solution. Thus, $H_{3}PO_{3}$ is more acidic compound.

C) In all Cl acids, the electron density is placed around Cl so the more oxygen around Cl, the more acidic will be the chemical. This is comparable to an oxidation state - the bigger oxidation state, the stronger acid will be:

$HClO_{4} ^{+7} HClO_{3}^{+5} HClO_{2}^{+3} HClO_{}^{+1}$

$HClO_{2}$ can reasonably be expected to be more acidic in aqueous solution.

Answer from: Quest

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance

Answer from: Quest

You use the atomic number to find out how many protons and neutrons there are in the atom. you use the atomic mass to find out how many protons and electrons there are in the atom.

Identify one disadvantage to each of the following models of electron configuration: -dot structures -arrow and line diagrams -written electron configurations type in your answer below. (answer) -dot structures do not show the distribution of electrons in orbitals and take up a lot of space. -arrow and line diagrams take up a lot of space and make it difficult to count electrons. -written configurations make it easy to lose count of electrons and do not show the distribution of electrons in orbitals.

Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide during one of the key steps in sulfuric acid synthesis. an industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 25.0l tank with 4.5 mol of sulfur dioxide gas and 4.5 mol of oxygen gas at 30.°c. he then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the amount of sulfur trioxide gas to be 1.4 mol. calculate the concentration equilibrium constant for the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen at the final temperature of the mixture. round your answer to 2 significant digits.
