Why does the light glow more strangely with h2so4 than with acetic acid?

H2SO4 ( Sulfuric acid ) is a strong acid which gives off almost all of the first protons ( the one hydrogen ion ) in solution ( ~ 100% ) Since electricity is electron flow, electrons have a easy path of flow between anode and diode. On the other hand, acetic acid is a weak acid and gives off very few protons in solution ( ~ 1% ), so the flow path is not that conducive to electron flow and the light glow is weaker.

Is acetic acid in acid rain?
No, acetic acid is only in substances like vinegar. In acid rain there is H2SO4 (sulfuric acid). If you are interested in acid rain, go visit the website given below.
How is the heat of neutralization of acetic acid different from that of HCL or H₂SO₄?
Acetic acid is a weak acid while HCl or H2SO4 are both strong acids. Being strong acids, the heat given off during neutralization is much greater.
Match these common acids and bases with their formulas?
Ca(OH)2 -------- calcium hydroxide NH3 -------------- ammonia H2SO4 ----------- sulfuric acid CH3COOH ------- acetic acid HClO4 ------------ perchloric acid
Is h2so4 a acid or base?
H2SO4 is a strong acid known as sulfuric acid
Is acetic acid anything like acetic acid?
Yes. Acetic acid is a lot like acetic acid.

Which acid is made from halogens- Acetic acid CH3COOH Hydrochloric acid HCl Sulfuric acid H2SO4 or Phosphoric acid H3PO4?
Hydrochloric acid
What is the process of making aspirin?
Aspirin is made when salicylic acid and acetic anhydride is reacted in the presence of an acid catalyst such as H2SO4. Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and acetic acid is formed. The reaction is an esterification reaction.
Give an example of a monoprotic acid?
Monoprotic: HCl, CH3COOH (acetic acid)Diprotic: H2SO4, HOOCCOOH (oxalic acid)Triprotic: H3PO4, C3H4OH(COOH)3(citric acid)(All acidic protons are bold)

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 difference between h2so4 and ch3 co oh?
The first, sulfuric acid, is a strong acid and oxidative / corrosive in 4% solution The second, acetic acid, is a weak acid and consumable in 4% solution (vinegar)
What does vinegar contain?
Acetic acid is the chief acid in vinegar. For table use, it contains about 5% acetic acid, as well as small amounts of tartaric acid and citric acid. A higher concentration (up to 20%) is used when pickling.Well, and it also has protons an neutron which is what let's it turn on a light bulb.acid, specifically acetic acid.
What acid is in the vinegar?
Vinegar contains about 5–20% acetic acid (CH3COOH), water and flavourings.
