Question

Consider the reaction HOCl + F^-  <---------> HF + OCl^-

Given that K_a for HOCl is 3.5 ´ 10^-8 and the K_a for HF is 7.2 ´ 10^-4 (both at 25°C), which of the following is true concerning K for the above reaction at 25°C?

A)	K is greater than 1.
B)	K is less than 1.
C)	K is equal to 1.
D)	Cannot be determined with the above information.
E)	None of these (A-D).

(True or False): Assuming that the value for K in the above reaction is greater than 1, this means that HF is a stronger acid than HOCl.
