Question

HOBr or HBrO3 as the strongest acid? @vocaloid

Answer 1

yeah you had the right idea the first time, more Oxygens --> more electronegative --> weaker OH bond --> easier to deprotonate --> more acidic

Answer 2

Sorry to bug you, so if there is always more oxygen, would it be the stronger acid? Or would it depend on the lewis structure

Answer 3

in this case we have the same halogen (Br) so given all other factors are the same, increasing the oxygen count generally increases the acidity

Answer 4

ohh okay, thank you <3
