fOR a :
Strength of acid is the determining factor here too
H2SO4 is stronger than H2CO3
Consider the following reactions in aqueous medium :
A : H2CO3 (aq) + HSO4-(aq) → H2SO4(aq) + HCO3-(aq)
B : HF(aq) + Cl- (aq) → HCl(aq) + F- (aq)
C : HF(aq) + NH3(aq) → NH4+ + F-
D : HSO4- + CN- → HCN + SO42-
Reactions proceeding to the right are option(s) ____________ .
Ans: C and D
Reason ? Why not A and B ?
For B:
With increasing atomic radius, acidity also increases.
sO Hcl is a stronger acid
B) mayn't be becoz i don't thnk Cl- is capable of replacing F-
fOR a :
Strength of acid is the determining factor here too
H2SO4 is stronger than H2CO3
Reason for C and D being the answer ???? That's the most important doubt.
H2CO3 cannot be isolated to react thus.
F- cannot be replaced. (agreed with Manmay)
Can someone justify C???
c :
HF is a stronger acid than NH4 +
(considering conjugate base concept )
