The relative rate follows same order as of acidity (HI > HBr > HCI > HF) and the nucleophilicity of their conjugate anion. Xi I' > Br' > CP > F-

Q. List the hydrogen halide acids in decreasing order of reactivity in the following reaction $R - O H + H X \to RX + H_{2} O$

HBr > HI > HCI > HF

HI > HBr > HCI > HF

HI > HF > HBr > HCI

HI > HCI > HBr > HF

The relative rate follows same order as of acidity $(H I > H B r > H C I > H F)$ and the nucleophilicity of their conjugate anion. $X i I^{'} > B r^{'} > CP > F -$
