Acetic acid (from vinegar) is stronger, though mono-basic. pKa = 4.77

Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is di-basic. pKa,1 = 6.36 and pKa,2 = 10.25

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.


Is vinegar a carbonic acid?

No. Carbonic acid is H2CO3. Vinegar is acetic acid, CH3COOH.


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.


Is Hydrochloric acid is stronger than carbonic acid?

Yes, hydrochloric acid is stronger than carbonic acid. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, whereas carbonic acid is a weak acid. Strong acids fully dissociate in water, releasing more hydrogen ions, making them stronger acids.


What are Carbonic acid acetic acid and phosphoric acid?

Carbonic acid is a weak acid formed when carbon dioxide dissolves in water. Acetic acid is a weak organic acid found in vinegar. Phosphoric acid is a mineral acid commonly used in soft drinks to provide a tangy flavor.

Why does rainwater containing sulphuric acid have a lower pH than rainwater that contains carbonic acid?

sulphuric acid is a stronger acid than carbonic acid. lower pH defines strength of acid.


Is acetic acid stronger or weaker than vinegar once formed?

acetic acid is vinegar!


What is the compound of vinegar and baking soda called?

It forms Carbonic Acid and this is a decomposition reaction


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.


Does water or vinegar produce more effervescence when mixed with baking soda?

Only vinegar will create effervescence by releasing carbon dioxide gas. The acetic acid in vinegar reacts with the baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, a base) to form carbonic acid and sodium acetate. The carbonic acid (essentially CO2 dissolved in water) is unstable and decomposes into carbon dioxide and water.


Is nitric acid the weakest acid?

No. Nitric acid is a very strong acid. However, it's not the strongest acid in the world, though. Sulfuric acid is stronger than nitric acid, but the carbonic superacids are also stronger than sulfuric acid.
