The dissociation constants of two acids $HA_1$ and $HA_2$ are $3.14 \times 10^{-4}$ and $1.96 \times 10^{-5}$ respectively. The relative strength of the acids will be approximately:

Classify the following species into Lewis acids and Lewis bases and show how these act as such:
$(a) HO^{-}$
$(b) F^{-}$
$(c) H^{+}$
$(d) BCl_{3}$

When a strong acid,strong base,or their salt are dissolved in water,they are completely ionised. If a strong acid is added to a strong base,$H^{+}$ ions from the former combine with $OH^{-}$ ions of the latter forming water. The formation of each water molecule liberates a certain quantity of energy and the reaction is exothermic. The heat liberated when one mole of water is formed by combining hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide is $13.7 \, kcal$. The heat liberated when one mole of water is formed by combining sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide is......$kcal$
