Question

explain why HCL is a strong acid and acetic acid is weak acid. haw can it be verified?

Answer 1

Hcl is a strong acid becoz it contains more number of hydrogen ions when compare to acetic acid which has fewer number of hydrogen ions so it is a weak acid.
It will change by changing the hydrogen ions.

I hope it will help for u ☺.

Answer 2

Answer:

The acidity is measured by the number of hydrogen ions an acid releases on being dissolved in water.

Thus, HCl is considered to be a strong acid as it has higher number of hydrogen ions, whereas acetic acid contains very little number of hydrogen ions so it is considered as a weak acid.

Weak acids only partially ionize when dissolved in water, which is the case of acetic acid, whereas the strong acids completely ionize in the water making it acidic.
