(a) Select all of the correct statements about the relative acid strengths of pairs of acids from the choices below. HC is a stronger acid than H₂S because Cl is more electronegative than 5. H₂POg is a stronger acid than H3PO4 because it has fewer oxygens surrounding the central P atom. H₂PO4 is a stronger acid than H₂PO4 because it has more acidic H atoms. HNO3 is a stronger acid than HNO₂ because it has more oxygens surrounding the central N atom. ASH, is a stronger acid than HBr because As is larger than Br. OHBrOy is a stronger acid than HBrO₂ because it has more oxygens surrounding the central Br atom.
