out of HCL and CH3COOH, which one is a weak acid and why? Explain with the help of an example
Answers
Out of HCL and CH3COOH, CH3COOH is a weak acid because its pH is higher than the pH value of hydrochloric acid. It can be demonstrated with the help of following activity:
1. Put some drops of dilute ethanoic acid on the universal indicator paper. It is observed that the pH is found to be around 4,
2.Repeat the same with the hydrochloric acid. It is found that the pH of HCl is about 1. This proves that HCI is a strong acid than Ethanoic acid.
Answer:
I know this
Explanation:
In order to compare CH3COOH (acetic acid) to HCL ( hydrojen chloride) ....HCL is one of the strongest acids and has such ionizes percent wheras CH3COOH IS WEAker acid and has ionizes less than 100 percent ....(1.3%at 25C)
