Solved: In this chapter, HCl, HBr, and HI are all listed

Chapter 15, Problem 15.59

(choose chapter or problem)

In this chapter, HCl, HBr, and HI are all listed as strong acids because they are assumed to be ionized completely in water. If, however, we choose a solvent such as acetic acid that is a weaker Brnsted base than water, it is possible to rank the acids in increasing strength as HCl , HBr , HI. (a) Write equations showing proton transfer between the acids and CH3COOH. Describe how you would compare the strength of the acids in this solvent experimentally. (b) Draw a Lewis structure of the conjugate acid CH3COOH1 2
