Answer:

chlorous acid

Explanation:

The acidic equilibrium of weak acids, HX, occurs as follows:

HX ⇄ H+ + X-

Where Ka is written as:

Ka = [H+] [X-] / [HX]

The strongest acid is the acid that produce more H+. The acid with the higher Ka is the acid that produce more [H+] and is, thus, the strongest acid.

The higher Ka is the Ka of chlorus acid = 1.2x10-2

Right answer is:

chlorous acid

Answer:

chlorous acid :)
