Best Answer

Acidity is partly determined by its stability of its conjugate base. Once the acid is deprotonated, it is left with a negative charge. Molecules with double bonded oxygens can participate in resonance, which would spread its negative charge over a larger space. Since sulfonic acid has two double bonded oxygens and carboxylic acids only have one, sulfonic acid is more acidic.

Oleum is more stronger acid than Sulfuric acid


Between nitric acid and sulfuric acid which one is more acidic?

Sulfuric acid is more stronger than Nitric acid, but Nitric acid is more reactive than Sulfuric acid.


Is nitric acid the weakest acid?

No. Nitric acid is a very strong acid. However, it's not the strongest acid in the world, though. Sulfuric acid is stronger than nitric acid, but the carbonic superacids are also stronger than sulfuric acid.


Which acid is stronger between sulphuric and hydrochloricacid?

Sulfuric is stronger than hydrocloric.But HCl also a strong acid.


What is fluoroantimonic?

it is an acid that is 2X10(19) stronger than 100% pure sulfuric acid.


Is dilute sulfuric acid a stronger acid compared to concentrated sulfuric acid?

No, although "concentrated" sulfuric acid (essentially pure H2SO4) is less dissociated than dilute sulfuric acid, simply because there's no water around for it to dissociate in.


Sulfuric acid plus acetic acid equals?

Hydrochloric acid is HCL Sulfuric acid is H2SO4 Mixing hydrochloric and sulfuric acid would just result in the sulfuric acid sapping (dehydrating) the hydrochloric acid of its water, releasing a small amount of hydrogen chloride. However, no chemical reaction is taking place.


What is the strongest acid pH?

The strongest acid is fluoroantimonic acid which is 2×1019 times stronger than 100% sulfuric acid.


Is concentrated sulfuric acid stronger than dilute sulfuric acid?

When the concentration is considered, concentrated acid contains more molecules than the dilute acid. It is only one way to measure the strength. If we consider the reactivity with the absence of water and moisture, dilute sulfuric acid is more reactive than the concentrated acid.


Is battery acid one of the strongest acid?

Battery water is generally sulfuric acid and is a strong acid, but not the strongest acid. Carborane acid is the world's strongest acid, followed by fluorosulfonic acid. The acidity of carborane acid has been shown at least a million times stronger than concentrated sulfuric acid, and hundreds of times stronger than the previous record holder fluorosulfonic acid.


Is concentrated sulfuric acid stronger than acetic acid?

Concentrated sulfuric acid is stronger and more acidic than an equal concentration of acetic acid.Sulfuric acid is considered a strong acid because it dissociates completely in water, whereas acetic acid is considered a weak acid because it does not dissociate completely in water.See the Related Questions link to the left for more information about strong and weak acids.


How corrosive is Fluoroantimonic Acid?

About 20 quintillion times stronger (actual number) than 100% sulfuric acid, which itself is pretty strong.
