Picric acid is more acidic than acetic acid. Acetic acid is a weak organic acid while picric acid is strong. Its strength is comparable to strong acids like hydrochloric acid (HCl) or sulphuric acid (H2SO4). The molecular formula of picric acid is C6H3N3O7 and that of acetic acid is CH3COOH. Picric acid is also called trinitrophenol (TNP). It is one of the most acidic phenols.
