Video transcript

Hey, everyone, we're asked to identify the stronger Braun said Lowry acid between hydrochloric acid and Hipaa Cloris acid. So looking at this, we have hydrochloric acid and we know this to be one of the seven strong acids. Next we have in comparison, our Hipaa Cloris acid and this is an oxy acid with our chlorine double bonded to our oxygen, which means that we have a weak acid. So to answer this question, the stronger bronze said Lowry acid is going to be Hydrochloric acid since it is one of the seven strong acids. Now, I hope that made sense and let us know if you have any questions.
