Question

Why does 1 M HCL solutions have a higher concentration of H+ ions than 1M CH3COOL solution

Answer 1

HCl is a strong which is fully ionize in the solution

Hence 1 M HCl = 1 M H+

While CH3COOH is a weak acid which will not fully ionize

[H+] = (Ka x Cacid)1/2 = (1.8x10-5 x 1.0)1/2 = 4.2 x10-3
