A) weak base
B) weak acid
C) strong base
D) strong acid
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
In the reaction, \[HCl+HF\xrightarrow{{}}H_{2}^{+}Cl+{{F}^{-}}\] \[HCl\]is taking up a proton, hence it is acting as a base. Its conjugate acid \[(H_{2}^{+}Cl)\] has a strong tendency to loose proton, hence it is a strong acid, and therefore, its conjugate base (HC1) will be a weaker base.You need to login to perform this action.
