Question

Why does 1 M HCl solution have a higher concentration of H+ ions than 1 M CH3COOH solution?

Answer 1

Heya Your Answer

HCl is a stronger acid than CH3COOH. When added to water, HCl dissociates almost completely to give H+ ions. In contrast, in the case of CH3COOH, only partial ionisation occurs. This is why 1 M HCl solution has a higher concentration of H+ ions than 1 M CH3COOH solution.

Answer 2

Here is the answer of your question

= As we know that HCl is a strong acid and it dessociate completely in the solution. So, that's why it has high concentrate of H+ ions.

On the other hand acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak acid and it don't dessociate completely in solution. So, that's why it has low concentration of H+ ions.

Hope it helps you.
