Because the acid in vinegar is acetic acid, a weak organic acid that disassociates in solution only to about 1%. Sulfuric acid disassociates almost 100% in solution, so the proton concentration, H3O +, is much more concentrated in a strong acid than in a weak one.

Which acid is stronger vinegar H2So4 NaOH?

Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is stronger than vinegar (acetic acid) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Sulfuric acid is a strong acid with a low pH value, while vinegar is a weak acid with a higher pH value. Sodium hydroxide is a strong base.


What makes some acids like vinegar weaker than other acids such as sulfuric acid?

They do not disassociate more than about 1% in solution while sulfuric acid does disassociate almost 100% in solution. Just the large variance in proton donation in solution marks a weak acid from a strong acid.


When compared to sulfric acid how strong are carboxylic acids?

Carboxylic acids are weaker acids than sulfuric acid. This is because carboxylic acids have two weak acidic hydrogen atoms compared to sulfuric acid's strong acidic hydrogen atoms. This makes sulfuric acid a stronger acid than carboxylic acids.


Which acid is stronger between sulphuric and hydrochloricacid?

Sulfuric acid is generally considered stronger than hydrochloric acid because it is a strong acid that can fully dissociate in water to release more hydrogen ions. Hydrochloric acid is also a strong acid but is slightly weaker than sulfuric acid.


Is vinegar stronger than carbonic acid-?

No, carbonic acid is stronger than vinegar. Carbonic acid is formed when carbon dioxide dissolves in water, whereas vinegar is a weaker acid composed of acetic acid.


Why is Concentrated sulphuric acid is weaker than dilute sulphuric acid?

Concentrated sulfuric acid is considered stronger than dilute sulfuric acid in terms of its ability to oxidize and dehydrate substances due to its higher concentration of sulfuric acid molecules. However, when referring to acidity, dilute sulfuric acid has a higher concentration of H+ ions, making it stronger in terms of pH.


Which is stronger sulphuric acid or oxalic acid?

Sulfuric acid is stronger than oxalic acid. Sulfuric acid is a strong mineral acid with a very low pH level, while oxalic acid is a weaker organic acid commonly found in vegetables like spinach and rhubarb.


Among sulfuric acid and oleum which is the strong acid?

Oleum is more stronger acid than Sulfuric acid


Will Carbon tectrachloride will sink in sulfuric acid?

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is less dense than sulfuric acid, so it will float on top of the sulfuric acid rather than sink into it.
