Why is HBrO a weaker acid than HBrO3?
A. The HO bond in HBrO is less polar than the HO bond in HBrO3
B. The HO bond in HBrO is more polar than the HO bond in HBrO3
C. The HBr bond in HBro is weaker than the HBr in HBrO3
D. The HBr bond in HBrO is stronger than the HBr bond in HBrO3
E. The HO bond in HBrO is weaker than the HO bond in HBrO3
C and D are invalid because there is no HBr bond. None of them really fit right if I had to pick on I'd pick one I'd say the HO bond is less polar because the e- cloud is being pulled toward the Cl.
Anyone know?
