Answer:
MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST...
Explanation:
The weaker the O–H bond, the stronger the acid. Cl is more electronegative than Br so HOCl is stronger acid than HOBr. In binary acids such as HBr and HCl, the H–Br bond is longer than the H–Cl bond as Br is larger than Cl. The H–Br bond is therefore weaker than the H–Cl bond and HBr is thus a stronger acid than HCl.
