Is nitric acid stronger than acetic acid?

Yes - but do you have the correct meaning of strong in mind? It relates to degree of ionisation, nothing else. Nitiric acid is strong, acetic is weak. Colloquial use of the word strong in respect to acids etc. has no meaning.


How is nitric acid different from vineagar?

They are different acids. They are also different by acid strength and the concentration of them. (Vinegar is 5% acetic acid in water, while a normal concentration of 70-78% nitric acid is stronger)


What is the difference between aqueous solutions of acetic acid and nitric acid?

Nitric acid and acetic acid are different substances; the chemical properties and physical properties are also different (density of the solutions, corrosiveness, chemical reactions, dissociation, etc.).


Can ethanoic acid neutralise nitric acid?

No, ethanoic acid (acetic acid) cannot neutralize nitric acid. Nitric acid is a strong acid and acetic acid is a weak acid, so the reaction between them would not result in neutralization.


Is nitric acid vinegar?

No, nitric acid is not vinegar. Nitric acid is a strong mineral acid that is highly corrosive, while vinegar is a weak acid typically made from fermenting fruits or grains.


Is a weak acidA.H2SO4 (Sulfuric acid) B.HCl (Hydrochloric acid) C.HNO3 (Nitric acid) D.CH3COOH (Acetic acid)?

Acetic acid is a weak acid.


Which is a stronger acid Hydrochloric or acetic?

Hydrochloric acid is stronger than acetic acid. This is because hydrochloric acid fully dissociates in water to form more H+ ions, making it a stronger acid compared to acetic acid, which only partially dissociates.


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.


Which is a strong acid citric nitric or phosphoric acid?

Nitric acid is considered a strong acid, followed by phosphoric acid and then citric acid. Strong acids are ones that ionize completely in water to produce a high concentration of hydrogen ions. Nitric acid dissociates almost completely in water, making it a stronger acid compared to phosphoric and citric acid.


What chemical is use in tire?

acetic acid, sulfuric acid nitric acid etc


Why is acetic acid weaker than nitric acid?

Acidity depends how much the acid dissociates into ions, a stronger acid dissociates more. For acetic acid: CH3COH --> CH3CO- + H+ There are still hydrogen atoms bonded to the molecule, so the acid doesn't dissociate completely, and is therefore a weak acid. Nitric acid: HNO3 --> H+ + NO3- The acid has completely dissociated into ions and is therefore a strong acid.


Which acid what is the strongest - Formic acid or Acetic acid?

Acetic acid is stronger than formic acid.
