Why acid is stronger than base?

Answer 1

Lemon juice is on average five to six percent citric acid. Vinegar, on the other hand, is comprised of acetic acid. In terms of percentage, it depends on the vinegar. White vinegar tends to have seven percent acetic acid, which is a higher level than other vinegars. Slightly milder vinegars, such as balsamic and red wine vinegar, have about six percent, and a relatively mild rice wine vinegar is around four and a half percent. In terms of PH, vinegar is slightly more acidic than lemon juice. but when adding both together the acid in the vinegar react with the acidic in the lemon and the vinegar acid dissolve the lemon acid. so the mis between them is same acidic as the lemon juice, but it depend on what type of vinegar you choice to react lemon with.

Answer 2

Acid is not 'stronger' than an acid, but some acids such as the diprotic Sulphuric acid, H2S04, can release 2 moles of Hydronium ions per mole of H2SO4, thus making the same molarity of a base seem weaker than it.

Answer 3

Lemon juice contains citric acid which is weaker than the acid in vinegar which is acetic acid.

Answer 4

The concentration and the strength of acids is greater.

Answer 5

It depends on the concentration of each solution.

Answer 6

They either have a high concentration of H+ ions (acids) or OH- ions (bases). Strong acids and bases are also highly corrosive relative to weaker more neutral acids/bases.

Answer 7

Because it is more acidic then lemon
