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 is hydrocloric acid stronger than ethanoic acid?

Yes - low pH means a stronger acid because pH is the NEGATIVE logarithm to base 10 of the [H+] ion concentration. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid in that it fully ionizes and has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions on a like for like basis than ethanoic acid (acetic acid) which is a weak acid in that it does not fully dissociate.


Does ethanoic acid is more soluble than hexanoic acid in water?

The question should be: Is ethanoic acid is more soluble than hexanoic acid in water?Yes because it has less carbons. Ethanoic (Acetic) Acid is fully miscible.


Where do you find ethanoic acid?

Ethanoic acid, more commonly known as acetic acid, can be found in a 5% concentration in vinegar.


How does lithium burn in hydrochloric acid?

Lithium actually reacts more with the water the hydrochloric acid is made of more than the hydrochloric acid itself.


Why melting point of ethanoic acid is higher than propanoic acid?

Ethanoic acid is more polar than propanoic acid, as it contains fewer carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds.


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.

Citric acid is used more commonly as a food additive because it does not ferment like ethanoic acid. However both have positive therapeutic and nutritional benefits.


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 do you imitate hydrochloric acid in a science project?

You can try using ethanoic acid (vinegar) instead. It is much safer and more easily obtainable, although is is a weaker acid. But the characteristic vinegar smell is likely to give you away so if you are performing a close up project then it is not recommended. Another alternative is to use citric acid. Aqueous citric acid looks like hydrochloric acid (both colourless) and does not have that smell. You can buy that in baking shops.


What is the pH of ethanoic acid?

depends on its concentration.it can be diluted to be pH 4 or 5 and can be concentrated to pH 1 or 2
