QUESTION

What are the pKas of ##HCN##, hydrocyanic acid and ##HF##, hydrofluoric acid?

They are:

##"pKa"_("HC"-="N") = 9.31##

##"pKa"_("HF") = 3.46##

Or you could have looked them up in a few minutes. I googled "pKa of HCN" and found this on the second link down.

So, which is the stronger acid? Would you say it is ##"HF"##? Why?
