The strength of an oxoacid, H_mXO_ncontaining m hydroxide groups and (n - m) double bonded oxygen atoms is related to?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strength of an oxoacid is related to its acid dissociation constant which is influenced by the number of double bonded oxygen atoms (n - m). Therefore, the best choice is (B) n - m. The number of hydroxide groups (m) may also have an effect but it is not the primary factor in determining the strength of the oxoacid.
