Why is HSO3- a stronger acid then H2SO3?

 

And also, i know that When the size of an atom X increases, the H-X bonds decreases, meaning the strength of the acid increases since more H+ are ionized.

 

But when when H-X are more electronegitive, doesnt it mean the bonds between the H-X gets stronger, meaning fewer H+ ionizes?? But this is not the case, the more electrongetive the bond between H-X, the acid strength gets stronger. Is my conceptual idea wrong?

 

Also, lets say you have solutions of NH3, HCl, NaOH, and HC2H3O2 , all with the same solute concetrations. How would you know rank the pH of these solutions from highest to lowest or vice versa?

Its higher because of the hydronium concentration

Secondly no.

pH -> from base to acid, NaOH,NH3,HC2H3O2,HCl
