For example, nitrous acid (\(HNO_2\)), with a \(pK_a\) of 3.25, is about a 1000 times stronger acid than hydrocyanic acid (HCN), with a \(pK_a\) of 9.21.

You will notice in Table \(\PageIndex{1}\) that acids like \(H_2SO_4\) and \(HNO_3\) lie above the hydronium ion, meaning that they have \(pK_a\) values less than zero and are stronger acids than the \(H_3O^+\) ion.
