Why is acetic weaker than hydrochloric acid?
The strength of the acid depends on the amount of hydrogen ions which come from the dissociation of the acid. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) splits entirely into ions: H+ and Cl-, due to a large acid dissociation constant (Ka). Ka of an acetic acid is relatively small (10-4.8). That means that lots of molecules stays undissociated and do not produce H+ ions.
How do you get rid of butanoic acid smell?
Ventilation and time. Lots and lots of scented soap might help. (For the uninitiated, butanoic acid smells like rancid butter. Another description would be "vomit.") Reacting it with methanol produces a rather pleasant pineapple-like scent, but since this is an equilibrium, to drive it toward the ester requires a powerful dehydrating agent like concentrated sulfuric acid. This may not be feasible, depending on what the butanoic acid is on.
Does kiwi have acid in it?
Yes they have lots of hydrochloric acid in them...be careful about eating too much of them!!
Acids that have three or more elements are?
Lots and lots of acids have 3 or more elements in them...Sulfuric acid H2SO4Acetic Acid CH3COOHPerchloric Acid HClO4Phosphoric Acid H3PO4most organic acids like DNA are larger chains involving several elements
What compounds breakup into ions in solution?
Lots - but if you want just one, try "salts".
What would a substance with lots of hydrogen ions would be identified as?
This substance is very probable an acid.
What does acid neutrilization mean?
To answer in the simplest terms it refers to bringing the pH ( represented by the H+ ions floating in the liquid we call acid ) of acid to the pH of Water ( approximately pH 7 ) by adding alkali ( liquid with lots of OH- ions in it ) to it.

What is the phase of matter that exists on the sun?
It is called plasma. It's similar to a gas, but a plasma has lots of ions.
What is rain sleet or snow that has lots of acids in it called?
it's called an acidic rain =)
Why should you add acid to water when diluting it?
Mixing acid and water produces an exothermic reaction (i.e. it releases heat). If you add water to acid, the water has lots and lots of acid to react with. the water will boil and splatter the strong acid - perhaps on the hand or face of the person doing the adding. If you add acid to water, the same reaction occurs but there is a bit of acid being added to lots and lots of water. Boiling is unlikely as the mass of water is a great heat sink, and any acid is rapidly diluted, so if there is any splattering it is much less, and of a much diluted form of the acid.
What do strong acids produce lots of?
Strong acids produce lots of H+ ions which when combine with water form hydronium ions(H3O+).
What part of the digestive system has lots of acid in it?
Well The stomach produces/stores hydrochloric acid as part of the digestive process to break down food. If you were looking for something other than the stomach maybe refine your question?

What planet produces lots of electricity and is very large?
moon
