which among the two acids (phebol and acetic acid) is weaker? explain using their ionization constant.
Answers
THE ACIDITY OF ORGANIC ACIDS
This page explains the acidity of simple organic acids and looks at the factors which affect their relative strengths.
Why are organic acids acidic?
Organic acids as weak acids
For the purposes of this topic, we are going to take the definition of an acid as "a substance which donates hydrogen ions (protons) to other things". We are going to get a measure of this by looking at how easily the acids release hydrogen ions to water molecules when they are in solution in water.
An acid in solution sets up this equilibrium
Explanation:
Comparing the strengths of weak acids
If you write it like this, you must include the state symbols - "(AQ)". Writing H+(AQ) implies that the hydrogen ion is attached to a water molecule as H3O+. Hydrogen ions are always attached to something during chemical reactions.
