Question

State true or false 1) mineral acids change to organic acids on addition of water. 2) acidity of a base is the total number of hydrogen atoms present in one molecule of the base.

Answer 1

Hello Dear.

Here is the answer---


Answer →

1) False.

Explanation ⇒

Mineral Acid are never changes into Organic acid when they dissolve in water. Mineral Acids like Hydrogen Chloride, Sulphuric acids are the strong acids which when dissolves in water ionizes and become dilute.  There concentration only changes during the addition of water, but neither there strength nor there Properties changes. By adding water to the strong acids, they never characterized into weak acids, but they are characterized into dilute or concentrated acids.


2) False.
Explanation ⇒

Acidity of the Base is the number of Hydroxyl ions ionized by per molecules of the Base.

For Example ⇒ 
Acidity of NaOH is 1 as one Hydroxyl ions is ionized by its one molecules.



Hope it helps.

Answer 2

1) Mineral acids change to organic acids on addition of water :

 Statement is False .

Reason :

Mineral aids are strong acids like Sulphuric acid, Nitric acid and Hydrochloric acid.
When strong acids are added to water , the acid gets diluted that is the concentration of the H+ ions per unit volume decreases.
Hence Minerals acids just become diluted but they don't change to organic acids.

2) Acidity of a base is the total number of hydrogen atoms present in one molecule of the base:

Above statement is False.

Reason :

Acidity of base is the number of Hydroxyl Ions[OH⁻ ] present in one molecule of the base.
