(a) Select all of the correct statements about the relative acid strengths of pairs of acids from the choices below. O HCI is a stronger acid than H2S because Cl is more electronegative than S. O NH3 is a stronger acid than H20 because N is larger than O. O H3PO3 is a stronger acid than H3PO4 because it has fewer oxygens surrounding the central P atom. O H2PO4¯ is a stronger acid than H3PO4 because it has more charge (is more unstable). O HBRO2 is a stronger acid than HBrO3 because it has fewer oxygens surrounding the central Br atom. O H2S is a stronger acid than PH3 because S is more electronegative than P.
