Why H2So4 is stronger than HNo3?
Although both of them have 2 oxygen atoms not combined with hydrogen and electronegativity of Nitrogen is greater!

As H2SO4 contains 4 atoms of 02 and two atoms of H2,whereas in HNO3 it contains only 3 atoms of O2 and 1 atoms of H2 so therefore H2SO4 have a more reactivity nature than HNO3

Answer: Ah, common mistake. H2SO4 is not "stronger" than HNO3, it is simply more corrosive and non volatile.HNO3, infact is a stronger oxidising agent than H2SO4. When compared on the pH scale, H2SO4 is found to be more acidic than the hydronium atom, whereas HNO3 has a lesser pH that hydronium.Also H2SO4 has 2 hydrogen atoms as oppossed to HNO3 which has only 1 H.
