No, it is the weakest of all chlorine containing acids! (Note the higher pKa, the weaker the acid)
- HClO pKa = +7.5
- HClO2 pKa = +2.0
- HClO3 pKa = -3.0
- HCl pKa = -8.0
- HClO4 pKa = -10.0

∙ 14y agoCH3COOH is the chemical formula for acetic acid (vinegar). It is also called ethanoic acid. It is considered to be a weak acid as it is only a partially dissociated acid in water.
However, pure, water-free acetic acid, which is called glacial acetic acid absorbs water from the environment and leaves a crystallized particulate in its place, freezing at room temperature. The acid in this form (any high molar concentrate) is dangerously corrosive.
So this is kind of a trick question, particularly because the chemical formula doesn't change between the two forms of the acetic acid.

∙ 12y agoch3chclcooh is more acidic than clch2ch2cooh. This is due to the cl group being closer to the cooh group. When the cooh group gets deprotonated, the cl group helps stabilize the molecule due to it's electron withdrawing nature. When cl is closer to the cooh group, it is easier to delocalize electrons of the conjugate base, ch3chclcoo-, therefore stabilizing the conjugate base more than it would if the cl group was at the end.

∙ 13y agoThe brominated version of CBr3COOH is stronger. This is because the bromines are electron withdrawing as they are electronegative. This means electron density is pulled away from the proton making it more ionizable and hence more ready to dissociate and thus a much stronger acid.

∙ 8y agoFormic acid (HCOOH) is stronger than acetic acid (CH3COOH). This can be seen from comparing the Ka for each acid. HCOOH has a Ka of approximately 1.8x10^-4 compared to the weaker CH3COOH with a Ka of approximately 1.8x10^-5

What this chemical symbol CHOO referred to?
When you see a COOH group in a formula it usually mean that you have an organic acid. for instance HCOOH is Formic Acid and CH3COOH is Acetic Acid.
What is the atomic mass of HCOOH(formic acid)?
The molar (not atomic) mass of HCOOH (formic acid) is 46,03 g.
Does hcooh undergo fehlings reaction?
Formic acid (HCOOH - methanoic acid) also gives a positive Fehling's test result. This is because it is readily oxidizable to carbon dioxide and water.
Which of these bases has the strongest conjugate acid NH3 N2H4 or CH3NH2?
Among these NH3 is the weakest base so strongest conjugate acid would be NH4+ ion.
Is vinegar a carboxylic acid?
Vinegar is ethanoic acid CH3COOH, so yes it is a carboxylic acid.
Acetic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid?
No, Acetic acid (ethanoic acid, CH3COOH) is the second simplest. Methanoic acid (formic acid) is the simplest with the formula HCOOH.
What this chemical symbol CHOO referred to?
When you see a COOH group in a formula it usually mean that you have an organic acid. for instance HCOOH is Formic Acid and CH3COOH is Acetic Acid.
What are the different names of corrosive acids?
All concentrated acids are corrosive. Examples include:Hydrochloric acid (HCl)Nitric acid (HNO3)Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)Formic/Methanoic acid (HCOOH)Acetic/Ethanoic acid (CH3COOH)Boric acidCarbonic acid
What is chemical formula of methanoic acid?
methanoic acid = HCOOH sodium hydroxide = NaOH The equation for the reaction is as follows: methanoic acid + sodium hydroxide -> sodium methanoate + water HCOOH + NaOH -> NaCOOH + H2O
Is HCOOH a base?
HCOOH is an acid.
What is the strongest acid A HNO3 B HF C H2S D CH3COOH E HPO42?
hpo42
What is the atomic mass of HCOOH(formic acid)?
The molar (not atomic) mass of HCOOH (formic acid) is 46,03 g.
Is HCOOH a strong acid or base?
neither, Formic acid does not completely dissociate in water so it is a weak acid. HCOOH + H2O <=> HCOO- + H3O+
Which is the strongest halogen acid?
All hydrogen halides except for hydrofluoric acid are strong acids and so are among the strongest of acids.
Is hydroiodic acid is strongest acid?
Among halogen acids, HX (X = F, Cl, Br, I), HI is the strongest acid.
Which is strongest acid among H2SO4 and HClO4 acid?
HClO4 is stronger.
Is CH3COOH a strong base?
No. CH3COOH is a weak acid known as acetic acid or ethanoic acid.
