Question

Explain why HCL is a strong acid and acetic acid is a weak acid. how can it be verified?
HOW CAN IT BE VERIFIED

Answer 1

Answer:

firstly it observed in the laboratory

then it will be formatted in the concept or in theory

we can normally say that the compound which gives H+ ion more in the solution then it will be more acidic so cl- ion is more stable than acetate ions through. we can easily say that HCL is more acidic

or you can learn from these theories

There are three theory given by different scientists to define acid and base

1. bronsted Lowery concept in 1923
2. Arrhenius concept in 1884
3. Lewis concept in 1939

hope it will be helpful to you good buy

Answer 2

Answer:

As HCl completely dissociates between H+ and Cl- ions whereas acetic acid (CH3COOH) does not completely dissolves.It maintains an equibrilium between its dissociated and undissociated state
