Is ethanoic acid is a weak acid?
Yes, it is. All acids are weak acids except for the 6 strong acids: HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, HCLO4, and H2SO4. Since ethanoic acid is not one of these, it is therefore a weak acid. It is also known as acetic acid
Which one of the following is considered a weak base sodium hydroxide acetic acid sodium bicarbonate or hydrochloric acid?
Sodium bicarbonate is a weak base.
Difference between strong acid and concentrated acid?
An acid is a substance that breaks into water to produce hydrogen ions (H+) and some other, negative ion. A strong acid is and acid that completely breaks apart into ions. (In a weak acid, only some of it breaks apart). Nitric acid is a strong acid while acetic acid is weak. A concentrated acid is one that is nearly pure. Usually 90% pure or more. So 95% nitric acid is a concentrated strong acid, while 95% acetic acid is a concentrated weak acid. Acids are usually sold dissolved in water in a low concentration. For example, vinegar is 5% acetic acid. Hydrochloric acid, another strong acid, is often sold in a 37% concentration.
Vinegar contains acetic acid The formula for acetic acid is CHËÄCOOH One mole of acetic acid has a mass of grams?
60
What combinations of compounds will make a buffer when mixed?
In order to have an effective buffer, one needs to have a weak acid or a weak base, and the salt (conjugate) of that weak acid or weak base. Examples would be :weak acid/conjugate base: acetic acid/sodium acetateweak base/conjugate acid: ammonia/ammonium chloride
What is the technical name for acetic acid?
Acetic acid is (one of) the technical name(s). The official name is ethanoic acid.
Is vinegar a conductor?
Yes, but it is a weak conductor. Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid and water. Acids donate H+ ions into a solution. The concentration of these ions are what determines whether a solution is a strong electrolyte(conductor) or a weak one. Since vinegar has a low concentration of acetic acid(about 5%) it only has a pH of only ~2.4 and so is a weak acid.
Why is vinegar weaker than sulfuric acid?
Because the acid in vinegar is acetic acid, a weak organic acid that disassociates in solution only to about 1%. Sulfuric acid disassociates almost 100% in solution, so the proton concentration, H3O +, is much more concentrated in a strong acid than in a weak one.
If commercial vinegar is 4 percent acetic acid what is the normality of acetic acid in vinegar?
The normality of acetic acid in commercial vinegar that is 4% acetic acid is 0.84 N. This is calculated by multiplying the molarity of acetic acid by the number of acidic hydrogens in acetic acid. Since acetic acid has one acidic hydrogen, the normality is equal to the molarity.
What is the difference between glacial Acetic acid and acetic acid one - five percent solution?
Glacial acetic acid is concentrated acetic acid at approximately 95% acetic acid with 5% water by volume. 1-5% acetic acid is very weak, being composed of 95-99% water. For reference, glacial acetic acid can only be purchased through commercial suppliers with a valid reason to acquire it while household vinegar is generally a 2-3% acetic acid solution and available in every grocery store.
What is the mass of one mole of acetic acid?
The molar mass of acetic acid (CH3COOH) is approximately 60.05 g/mol. Therefore, the mass of one mole of acetic acid is 60.05 grams.
Is CH3CO2- an acid or base?
CH3COOH is Acetic Acid Acid. It is made out of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen.
