Question

why hf is weaker acid than hcl?

Answer 1

because if HF is dissolved in organic solvents it does not dissocaiate or partially dissociate into H+ ...due to strong bond...

but in case of HCl it will completely dissociate into H+ in organic solvents....

that is H+ and Cl-

Hope this helps u

Answer 2

Hello mate,

Here is your answer,

Because of strong affinity of fluorine for hydrogen so it strongly holds hydrogen and don't loose it very easily.

As in HCl due to lesser H-Cl bond dissociation enthalpy as compared to HF, HCl is stronger acid than HF.

This is the basic concept for the reason why HF is a weaker acid than HCl.

HOPE THIS HELPS UU :)

AND STAY BLESSED.
