Question

Acetic acid, carbonic acid, hydrochloric acid, Therefore find the odd man out​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hydrochloric acid is the odd one out because both the other two acids Acetic acid and carbonic acid are weak acids.

STRONG ACIDS

• Strong acids are those acids which dissociates completely in aqueous solution.
• Strong acids give more concentration of H⁺ ion on dissociation in aqueous solution.
• Examples include :- Hydrochloric acid (HCl) , Sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) , Nitric acid(HNO₃) , etc.

WEAK ACIDS

• Weak acids  are those acids which dissociates completely in aqueous solution.

• Weak acids give lesser concentration of H⁺ ion on dissociation in aqueous solution.
• Examples includes :- Carbonic acid , acetic acid , malic acid ,etc.
