NEETChemistryIonic Equilibrium
How does an increase in polarity of the H-A bond affect the acidity of an acid?
Options
- AIt decreases the acidity.
- BIt has no effect on the acidity.
- CIt increases the acidity.
- DIt changes the color of the acid solution.
Correct answer
C. It increases the acidity.
Step-by-step solution
An increase in the polarity of the H-A bond, marked by an increased electronegativity difference between the atoms H and A, tends to increase the acidity of the acid.
