Four species are listed below:(i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Which one of the following is the correct sequence of their acid strength?

  1. A
    (iv) < (ii) < (iii) < (i)
  2. B
    (ii) < (iii) < (i) < (iv)
  3. C
    (i) < (iii) < (ii) < (iv)
  4. D
    (iii) < (i) < (iv) < (ii)

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Acid strength depends on the stability of the conjugate base and the electronegativity of the central atom. (Fluorosulphuric acid) is a superacid, much stronger than mineral acids. is the characteristic acid species in water. is the conjugate base of a strong acid () but is itself a weak acid. is the conjugate base of a weak acid () and is very weakly acidic.Sequence: .
