Yes, because sulfur is a larger atom than oxygen, so can therefore stabilize the conjugate base more effectively. Stability of the conjugate base means increased acidity, ie decreased pH and pKa

∙ 13y agoAn alcohol is an organic molecule containing an OH group. A thiol is an organic molecule containing an SH group. Alcohols are actually slightly alkaline.
An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen ions (H+) in water or gives up an to another substance.

How much more acidic is a solution of pH 2 than of pH 5?
. Since the pH scale is determined by log it is 10 to the power of 3 more acidic so it's 1000 times more acidic
Are amines better nucleophiles than alcohols?
Yes! Amines are much better nucleophiles than alcohols. The oxygen-hydrogen bond of alcohols is characterized by a strong induction effect as oxygen is an electronegative atom. Nitrogen is less electronegative than oxygen and so is not able to accommodate negative charges. Nitrogen as a nucleophile or base is less stable and therefore more reactive.
Which is more acid the pH of 6 or the pH of 2?
A pH of 2 is much more acidic than a pH of 6
How much more acidic is a fluid with a pH of 3 more than a fluid with a pH of 7?
pH is amplified in logs of 10. For example, a reading of 6 pH is 10 times more acidic than that of 7 and 6 pH is 100 times more acidic than 8 pH. Since 7-3=4, a pH of 3 is 104 or 10,000 times more acidic than a pH of 7.
How much more acidic is acid rain than distilled water?
acid rain has a Ph level of 4
How much more acidic is a solution of pH 2 than of pH 5?
. Since the pH scale is determined by log it is 10 to the power of 3 more acidic so it's 1000 times more acidic
What type of alcohols is fischer esterification limited to?
Primary and secondary alcohols are commonly used in the process and work efficiently with an acid catalyst but tertiary alcohols can also be used in some cases under the right conditions. One the reasons that it is more difficult to use tertiary alcohols is because of the steric hinderance which exists in the molecule so there is too much molecular interaction for a stable compound to form.

The PH of lemon juice is about 2 while a tomato juice is about 4 and a half on the pH How much more acidic is lemon juice than tomato juice?
10 * 10 * 5= 500 times more acidic.===============
If stomach juice of pH 1 is 10 time more acidic than lemon juice of pH 2 and 100 times more acidic than vinegar of pH 3 how much more acidic is it compared to a solution of pH 6 If n is the pH value o?
The ratio is 1:1 000 000.
How much more acidic is acid rain than distilled water?
acid rain has a Ph level of 4
Does the pH paper measure the strength of an acid or a base?
No, it tells you how acidic or basic a solution is. The closer the pH is to 1, the more acidic spomething is. The closer to 14, the more basic. 7 is neutral so there is the same amount of acid and base. So if by strength you mean how much of an acid/base there is than, yes pH will measure that. Remember, the more H+ ions, the more acidic, and the more OH- ions, the more basic.
What are saying to deal with pH?
The pH scale help us to determine how much acidic or base there is in the concentration of any objects like lemonade, shapoo, or milk are being measure with it. If the concentration is below 7, then it is acidic. If it is above 7 then it concentration had more base. But if it was exactly on 7 then it is neutral like water. Remember that the more the concentration is farther to the left or right side, then the more acidic ( left-side) or the more base( right-side) it is.
Is acidic water toxic?
Yes it can be It depends on how much acid and what type of acid For example orange juice is acidic.
