Give reasons for the following a) sulphuric acid gives an acid salt but hydrochloric acid does not b) Dil.HCl is stronger than highly concentrated acetic acid |
|
Answer» ong>Explanation: a.)Sulphuric acid is a strong acid and it gets completely ionized in aqueous solution. - Sulphuric acid on reaction with a base gives both acidic salts and normal salts. while HCl being a monobasic acid is left with no hydrogen ions. b.)In an acetic acid solution, there is a LARGE NUMBER of undissociated CH3COOH molecules, and just a few H+ and CH3COO- ions. HENCE, dilute HCl acid is stronger than highly concentrated acetic acid. |
