monoprotic acids, HA (A = X or Y). The water molecules have been omitted for clarity.
(a) Which is the stronger acid, HX or HY?
(b)Which is the stronger base, or?
(c) If you mix equal concentrations of HX and NaY, will the equilibrium
HX(aq) + Y-(aq)  HY(aq) + X-(aq)
lie mostly to the right (Kc > 1) or to the left (Kc < 1)?
