Hydrochloric acid and nitric acid have comparable degrees of acidity; the strength of either acid will depend upon the concentration.

Why does HCl create more gas than nitric acid on when dissolving sea shells?

HCl is a stronger acid and will dissolve more of the shell than an equivalent concentration of nitric acid.


HBr is a stronger acid than HCl?

Actually, HCl is a stronger acid than HBr. This is because the strength of an acid is determined by its ability to dissociate and donate a hydrogen ion. HCl completely dissociates in water, while HBr partially dissociates, making HCl a stronger acid.


Why formic acid is stronger acid than acetic acid?

Hydrochloric acid, HCl


Why copper reacts with nitric acid and not with HCl?

Copper reacts with nitric acid because it is a stronger oxidizing agent compared to hydrochloric acid. Nitric acid can easily oxidize copper to form copper(II) ions, while HCl lacks this oxidizing capability and therefore does not react with copper.


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.

Is royal water made of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid?

Yes: 3 parts hydrochloric acid (HCl) and 1 part nitric acid (HNO3)


Why HBr is weaker Acid than HCl?

HBr is a weaker acid than HCl because the bond between hydrogen and bromine is longer and weaker than the bond between hydrogen and chlorine. This makes it easier for HCl to release its hydrogen ion in solution, making it a stronger acid compared to HBr.

Give a chemical formula for a strong acid?

Hydrochloric acid: HCl Sulfuric acid: H2SO4 Nitric acid: HNO3 Hydrobromic acid: HBr Perchloric acid: HClO4


Why is HI more stronger acid than HCl?

Iodine is larger in size so makes weaker bond with hydrogen and HI easily ionizes in water and is strong acid while HCl bond is relatively strong and not broken down easily in water as compare to HI.
