Are there more oxygen atoms in a molecule of acetic acid than there are in a molecule of ethanol?
yes
Is Acetic acid more stronger than citric acid?
no because citric acid is lemon jucie
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.
When does acetic acid turn to alcohol?
When reduced twice acetic acid will turn in ethanol (via ethanal). C2H4O2 + 4H+ + 4e- --> C2H6O + H2O The reversed reaction is more 'natural' (breakdown by oxidation)
If you have concentrated forms of hydrochloric acid strong acid and acetic acid a weak acid which is more acidic which has more hydrogen ions?
Hydrochloric acid has more hydrogen ions and therefore is the stronger acid.
Is acetic acid or formic acid is more stronger?
Formic acid is about ten times stronger.
Are there more oxygen atoms in a molecule of acetic acid than there are in a molecule of ethanol?
yes
Is Acetic acid more stronger than citric acid?
no because citric acid is lemon jucie
What is ethanol and ethanoic acid used for?
If you ever had vinegar on your salad, you used ethanoic acid. Ethanoic acid is more commonly known by its other name of acetic acid, and vinegar is most often a dilute (<10%) solution of acetic acid.
Is concentrated sulfuric acid stronger than acetic acid?

If you have concentrated forms of hydrochloric acid strong acid and acetic acid a weak acid which is more acidic which has more hydrogen ions?
Hydrochloric acid has more hydrogen ions and therefore is the stronger acid.
Is ethanoic acid stronger than hydrochloric acid?
No it isn't. Ethanoic acid, more commonly called acetic acid, is a weak acid. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid.
Why formic acid is stronger than acetic acid?
As we know that acetic acid is CH3 substituted formic acid .since CH3 is an electron donating relative to hydrogen .so, it donates the electron to carboxyl group and makes it more negative. this phenomenon makes acetic acid weaker acid than formic acid .Thus formic acid is stronger acid than acetic acid.

What is more acidic acetic acid or formic acid or prop ionic acid?
Formic acid is more acidic because formic acid is a smaller molecule as compare to acetic acid so polarity is working in small area and O-H bond is more polar HCOOH, in acetic acid the additional CH3- group is an electrons donor group so O-H bond is little bit stronger and less polar so it is weaker acid.
Which is a strong acid citric nitric or phosphoric acid?
Nitric acid is the strongest, the other two are weak acids, though among these they are relatively strong, far more stronger than acetic acid.
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.
