The most acidic compound is methyl alcohol?
No, methyl alcohol is generally not viewed as an acid at all.
What is more stronger acetic acid or ethanol?
Acetic acid is a stronger acid. Ethanol is an alcohol which is slightly acidic but usually neutral in nature.
Is 1-hexanol more acidic or less acidic than phenol?
1-hexanol is an alcohol so it is a neutral compound not an acid while phenol is a strong acid.
Which acid is weaker HNO3 or HCO3?
HCO3 is the weaker acid.
Is alcohol acidic or basic?
No, it isn't. It's essentially neutral. Some alcohols are weakly acidic... phenol is one of the more acidic ones, and was at one time even called "carbolic acid."
The most acidic compound is methyl alcohol?
No, methyl alcohol is generally not viewed as an acid at all.
Is the use if alcohol associated with an increases incidence of acid reflux disease?
Yes. Alcohol is acidic, thereby increasing the incidence of acid reflux.
Is iso-propyl alcohol an acid or a base?
Iso-propyl alcohol shows slightly acidic behaviour.
How acidic is lysine?
Lysine, 2,6-diaminohexanoic acid is amfoteric, meaning it has BOTH 2 basic amino-groups (stronger) and 1 acidic carbonic acid group (-COOH). The acidic group is weaker than both basic properties, so overall it is basic.
Is sugar an alkaline or acid?
No. As an alcohol it's technically very, very weakly acidic.
What is more stronger acetic acid or ethanol?
Acetic acid is a stronger acid. Ethanol is an alcohol which is slightly acidic but usually neutral in nature.
Is sulphur oxide acidic?
Yes, it is acidic:with water it forms an acid (suflurous acid, H2SO3)with base it neutralizes by forming a sulfite salt or (a weaker) base anion SO32-

Why formic acid more acidic than acidic acid?
Formic acid is a smaller molecule as compare to acetic acid so polarity is working in small area and O-H bond is more polar HCOOH, in acetic acid the additional CH3- group is an electrons donor group so O-H bond is little bit stronger and less polar so it is weaker acid.
Indicate how you might prepare pentanoic acid from 1-pentanol?
react it with dichromate in acidic medium. It will oxidize a primary alcohol all the way to a carboxylic acid.
