Qualitatively predicting the relative strength of oxoacids from their molecular formulae

Abstract

The relative strength of oxoacids from their molecular formulae based on the difference between the number of oxygen atoms and the hydrogen atoms is considered both as a mnemonic device and in relation to the resonance stabilities of the possible anions (conjugated bases), too
