You make two different aqueous solutions in separate 200 mL beakers. The first solution contains 10 molecules of HF in water. The second solution contains 10 molecules of HCl in water. a) Draw a picture of each solution showing what the solution looks like microscopically. Label the major species that you would expect to see in the solution and make sure to represent the general ratios of those species. b) Then, use your pictures to explain why the value of Ka for HCl is greater than the value of Ka for HF.
