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.
How many times more acidic is stomach acid than a soda drink?
Stomach Acid is Hydrochloric Acid mixed with other substances. The pH of hydrochloric acid is pH = 1. So it is a lot more acidic than a soda drink. Heaven forbid, but when you vomit, that horrible burning sensation is the hydrochloric acid from your stomach, refluxing into your throat/mouth.
Is hydrochloric acid clear and transparent?
Yes, hydrochloric acid is clear and transparent, it looks much like water, but much more acidic. Hydrochloric acid has the ability to dissolve calcium carbonate (the material shells are made of).
What happens to pH of water when hydrochloric acid is added to water?
the water will get more acidic. the PH will decrease meaning the pH is acidic
Why is picric acid is more acidic than phenol?
Picric acid is 2,4,6-trinitro phenol, the nitro groups are electrons withdrawing groups so are responsible to make the bond weaker between oxygen and hydrogen atoms and increase the acidic strength as compare to phenol.
What is the picricacid formual?
picric acid (or 2,4,6-trinitrophenol) is more acidic than benzoic acid The pKa or picric acid is 0.3 and that of benzoic acid is 4.2

Is the pH of 25 acetic acid higher than 0.25 hydrochloric acid?
There is no substance with a pH of 25. But the lower the pH, the more acidic a solution.
Why was phosphopric acid chosen over hydrochloric?
In Aqueous medium, phosphoric acid emits 3 hydrogen ions. Hydrochloric acid emits only 1 hydrogen ion. So phosphoric acid is more acidic. So it is chosen over HCl.
Why is a acid called a acid?
They are acidic due to hydrogen ions. The more hydrogen ions converted from the original solution there are the more acidic it will be. For example Hydrochloric Acid converts more hydrogen ions from (hydrogen + water + chloride) solution than citric acid does from its respective solution...
Why is picric acid is called a acid?
Picric acid is a fairly strong acid. Most phenols are very weak acids, although they do react with strong bases. Since picric acid (2,4,6-trinitrophenol) has three strong electron-withdrawing nitro groups on its ring, its anion is more stable than most phenolates, and that makes it a much stronger acid.
How acidic is hydrochloric acid?
Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, which means it dissociates completely in solution. You can not be more ' acidic ' than that. Just because an acid ionizes completely doesn't really say how acidic a solution of HCl will be. HCl is defined as a strong acid because it ionizes completely. However, if its diluted enough one can drink it just like vinegar (about a 5% solution of acetic acid). Of course one could dilute it enough to make it so the solution is pretty much no more acidic than pure water. The original answer was probably answering what was the intent of the question, whether HCl is a strong or weak acid.
Why do stomach acids have a low pH level?
The lower a pH level is, the more acidic it is. The acid in your stomach, hydrochloric, is very acidic, and can even burn through some items.
