Acids are stronger or weaker depending upon the number of stable hydronium(H301+)ions formed on reaction with water. Acidity can be tested with the "acid indicators"--moist blue litmus paper,akaline phenothalein(pink),methyl orange.

Are stronger acids more stable compared to weaker acids?

No, stronger acids are not more stable compared to weaker acids. In fact, stronger acids are typically more reactive and less stable than weaker acids.


Do stronger acids react more slowly than weaker acids?

Stronger acids typically react more quickly than weaker acids because they are more likely to completely dissociate into ions in solution. This high concentration of ions increases the frequency of collisions between reactant molecules, leading to faster reaction rates.


How are stronger acids different than weaker acids because they are more likely to react more vigorously with other substances?

Stronger acids have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions, making them more likely to react vigorously with other substances compared to weaker acids.


Would a weaker acid increase the strength of a stronger acid when combined?

No. A weaker acid mixed with a stronger acid would dilute the stronger acid. The resulting pH would be in between that of the mixed acids.


Which acid does not contain H ion?

All acids contain H+ but stronger acids contain more than weaker acids. Alkalis contain OH-. In stronger alkalis there is more OH- and in weaker, there is less. This is why pH7 is neutral - the H+ and the OH- form H2O which is a neutral substance.


Would you consider hydroiodic acid to be a stronger or a weaker than hydrochloric acid?

Both are strong acids (this means stronger than H3O+) but HI is stronger than HCl.


When compared to sulfric acid how strong are carboxylic acids?

Carboxylic acids are weaker acids than sulfuric acid. This is because carboxylic acids have two weak acidic hydrogen atoms compared to sulfuric acid's strong acidic hydrogen atoms. This makes sulfuric acid a stronger acid than carboxylic acids.

What is the strength of organic acids relative to chloro substituted acids?

Organic acids are generally weaker than chloro-substituted acids. The presence of chlorine atoms can enhance the acidity of the compound by stabilizing the conjugate base through inductive effects. This leads to stronger acid properties in chloro-substituted acids compared to organic acids.


What makes acids weaker than other acids?

Acids are weaker than other acids when they have a higher pKa value, which indicates a lower degree of ionization in solution. Weaker acids are less likely to donate protons and are less effective at releasing hydrogen ions in solution compared to stronger acids. Factors such as molecular structure, stability of the resulting conjugate base, and polarity can influence the strength of an acid.
