Equal amounts of two acids—HCl and HCO₂H (formic acid)—are placed in aqueous solution. When equilibrium has been achieved, the HCl solution has a much greater electrical conductivity than the HCO₂H solution. Which reaction is more product-favored at equilibrium?

HCl(aq) HCO₂H(aq) + H₂O(l) + H₂O(l) H3O+ (aq) + Cl (aq) H3O+ (aq) + HCO₂ (aq)
