H2S is a stronger acid than HCl.
H 2 S is a stronger acid than HCl.

HF is a stronger acid than HCl.
HF is a stronger acid than HCl.

NH3 is a stronger acid than HF.

Answer 1

To evaluate the comparisons regarding the acidity of the given compounds:

1. **PH3 (phosphine) vs. NH3 (ammonia)**: PH3 is a weaker acid than NH3. Therefore, the statement "PH3 is a stronger acid than NH3" is incorrect.

2. **H2S (hydrosulfuric acid) vs. HCl (hydrochloric acid)**: HCl is a stronger acid than H2S. Therefore, the statement "H2S is a stronger acid than HCl" is incorrect.

3. **HF (hydrofluoric acid) vs. HCl (hydrochloric acid)**: HCl is a stronger acid than HF. Therefore, the statement "HF is a stronger acid than HCl" is incorrect.

4. **NH3 (ammonia) vs. HF (hydrofluoric acid)**: NH3 is a base and not an acid; HF is an acid. Therefore, the statement "NH3 is a stronger acid than HF" is incorrect.

Based on the evaluations, all the given comparisons are incorrect.
