The acidity of oxoacidscan roughly be predicted by evaluating the number of non-hydroxyl oxygen atoms in the formula.
- The acidity of oxoacids can roughly be predicted by evaluating the number of non-hydroxyl oxygen atoms in the formula. For example, HBrO2 has———— non-hydroxyl oxygens and HIO3 has——— non-hydroxyl oxygens. Bell’s rule predicts the pKa of HBrO2 to be————- and of HIO3 to be———— 33
