Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HNOS is a weak acid compared to HBr and HCl because its conjugate base (NOS-) is much more stable than the conjugate bases of HBr and HCl. Therefore, it does not dissociate as much in water and is not considered a strong acid. HCl and HBr are both strong acids because they completely dissociate in water, while HClO and HClO2 are moderately strong acids.
