An industrial chemist treats solid NaCl with concentrated H2SO4 and obtains gaseous HCl and NaHSO4. When she substitutes solid NaI for NaCl, gaseousH2S , solid I2, and S8 are obtained but no HI. (a) What type of reaction did the H2SO4 undergo with NaI? (b) Why does NaI, but not NaCl, cause this type of reaction? (c) To produce HI(g) by the reaction of NaI with an acid, how does the acid have to differ from sulfuric acid?

Assuming acid strength relates directly to the electronegativity of the central atom, rank H3PO4, HNO3, andH3AsO4 in order of increasing acid strength.
