Assuming that the value for K in the above reaction is greater than 1,this means that HF is a stronger acid than HOCl.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A value of K greater than 1 for the reaction indicates that the reaction favors the products, meaning HF dissociates more in water compared to HOCl. However, acid strength is determined by the extent of dissociation in water, not directly by the equilibrium constant of a reaction comparing two acids. The comparison should be based on their respective dissociation constants (Ka) in water, not a reaction between them.
