Predict the relative acidic strength among the following:
`H_(2)O`, `H_(2)S`, `H_(2)Se`, `H_(2)Te`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To predict the relative acidic strength among the compounds \( H_2O \), \( H_2S \), \( H_2Se \), and \( H_2Te \), we need to analyze the stability of their conjugate bases after they lose a proton (H\(^+\)). The conjugate bases formed will be \( OH^- \), \( HS^- \), \( HSe^- \), and \( HTe^- \) respectively. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Conjugate Bases**: - When each acid donates a proton, the following conjugate bases are formed: - From \( H_2O \): \( OH^- \) - From \( H_2S \): \( HS^- \) ...
