Answer:
why in aqueous medium HCl is stronger acid than HF. ... The size of Cl- ion being larger than F- ion, the HCl bond is weaker than HF bond. So it can break(dissociate) more easily and liberate H+ ions easily and hence is a stronger acid.

Answer:
why in aqueous medium HCl is stronger acid than HF. The more easily an acid can dissociate into H+ ions, the more stronger it is.
