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.


Is acetic acid or formic acid is more stronger?

Formic acid is about ten times stronger.


Is acetic acid or nitric acid stronger?

Nitric acid is stronger than acetic acid. Nitric acid is a strong acid because it completely dissociates into ions in solution, while acetic acid only partially dissociates. This means that nitric acid can donate protons more readily than acetic acid.


Are there more oxygen atoms in a molecule of acetic acid than there are in a molecule of ethanol?

Yes, there are more oxygen atoms in a molecule of acetic acid (2 oxygen atoms) than in a molecule of ethanol (1 oxygen atom). Acetic acid has the chemical formula CH3COOH, while ethanol has the formula C2H5OH.


Why is acetic acid stronger than carbon acid?

Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is stronger than carbonic acid (H2CO3) because acetic acid is a weaker acid than carbonic acid. Acetic acid only partially dissociates in water, producing more H+ ions compared to carbonic acid. This results in a lower pH and makes acetic acid stronger.


Formic acid is stonger than acetic acid?

yes formic acid is stronger than acetic acid.


Is lactic acid stronger than acetic acid?

In terms of chemical properties, acetic acid is stronger than lactic acid. Acetic acid has a lower pH and is more corrosive compared to lactic acid. However, the strength of an acid can also depend on the specific context and application in which it is being used.


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.


How do you make acetic acid?

Acetic Acid is Vinegar. It is made similarly to making alcohol, by FERMINTATION. One or more vegetable products, in a water solution, is innoculated [or exposed to] one of many bactera which digest the sugars in the mix, and excrete acetic acid. This MUST occur in an aerobic [WITH the presense of Oxygen] enviroment in order to get acetic acid. For alcohol, the environment MUST be anerobic[without Oxygen]


When does acetic acid turn to alcohol?

Acetic acid does not turn into alcohol under normal conditions. They are two distinct compounds with different chemical structures and properties. However, acetic acid can be converted into alcohol through a process called fermentation, where acetic acid is reduced by certain microorganisms to produce ethanol.


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?

Concentrated hydrochloric acid is stronger and more acidic than concentrated acetic acid because it fully dissociates into hydrogen ions and chloride ions in solution, while acetic acid only partially dissociates into hydrogen ions and acetate ions. Therefore, hydrochloric acid would have more hydrogen ions in solution.


Is concentrated sulfuric acid stronger than acetic acid?

Concentrated sulfuric acid is stronger and more acidic than an equal concentration of acetic acid.Sulfuric acid is considered a strong acid because it dissociates completely in water, whereas acetic acid is considered a weak acid because it does not dissociate completely in water.See the Related Questions link to the left for more information about strong and weak acids.
