Strongest (conjugated) Acid:hexa-Fluoro-Antimonic Acid (HSbF6 or HF.SbF5), pKa = -25It is conjugated to the base: SbF6-Classified as a "Superacid". This acid will donate proton to C2H4 to form a ethane-carbocation. Compare: pKa(HClO4) = -10, HClO4 does not react with ethene.
C2h4
An acid can turn into a base if you mix a much stronger base with it! That way the base acid overpowers the acid and makes the acid a base!

With use of diazomethane: RCO2H + CH2N2 → RCO2CH3 + N2addition of acid to alkene: C2H4 + CH3CO2H + 1/2 O2 → C2H3O2CCH3 + H2Oand carbonylation too: C2H4 + ROH + CO → C2H5CO2R

This reaction is an example of a 'hydration' or 'addition' reaction of alkenes: (ethene + water) C2H4 + H2O --> C2H5OH (ethanol) The reaction is catalysed by H+ ions (acid)

The product is Ethanol. Phosphoric acid is the catalyst here. The equation for the reaction is: C2H4 + H2O -----> C2H5OH
