Question

Ethanoic acid was added in drops to water and it was noticed that:
(1) the acid formed a separate layer on the top of water
(2) water formed a separate layer on the top of the acid
(3) a clear and homogeneous solution was formed
(4) a pink and clear solution was formed​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 3.

Explanation:

When ethanoic acid was added in drops to water it formed a clear and homogenous solution due to the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Answer 2

Answer:

a clear and homogeneous solution was formed

Explanation:

Ethanoic acid is also called as acetic acid, which is a weak acid.

When an equal amount of water and acetic acid are added in a test tube, shaken well and kept still for five minutes, we can observe a clear colorless solution. This is due to the dissociation of the hydrogen molecule and the complete miscible nature of the acetic acid and water.
