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.
