Question

List the following acids in order of increasing strength: H₂SO₄ H₂SeO₄ H₂TeO₄ A)H₂SeO₄ < H₂TeO₄ < H₂SO₄ B)H₂SeO₄ < H₂SO₄ < H₂TeO₄ C)H₂SO₄ < H₂TeO₄ < H₂SeO₄ D)H₂SO₄ < H₂SeO₄ < H₂TeO₄ E)H₂TeO₄ < H₂SeO₄ < H₂SO₄

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The acid strength increases with the electronegativity of the central atom. Sulfur is more electronegative than selenium and tellurium, making H₂SO₄ the strongest acid among them.
