Question

Explain how hydrochloric acid is strong acid than acetic acid a weak acid how can it be verified

Answer 1

Its bcoz HCl dissociates completely in water and and gives more H+ ions whereas acetic acid dissociates partially in water and thus gives less H+ ions. Due to this, HCl is a strong acid than acetic acid.

Answer 2

HCl liberates more H+ ions while in contact with water as compared to acetic acid so HCl is a strong acid but Acetic acid is a weak acid. Even the concentration of hydrogen ions lowers the pH. Generally, Hydrochloric acid is considered as a strong acid and ethanoic acid is a weak acid.
