You have two solutions A and B. the pH of solution A is 6 and pH of solution B is 8. (a) Which solutoin is acidic and which is basic ? (b) which solution has more H+ concentraiton ? (c ) Why is HCl a stronger acid than acetic acid ?

You have two solutions A and B. the pH of solution A is 6 and pH of so

1.	You have two solutions A and B. the pH of solution A is 6 and pH of solution B is 8. (a) Which solutoin is acidic and which is basic ? (b) which solution has more H+ concentraiton ? (c ) Why is HCl a stronger acid than acetic acid ?
Answer» SOLUTION :(a) Solution A is acidic. (b) Solution A (C ) As HCl releases more `H^(+)` ions into the solution than acetic acid. It is the CONCENTRATION of hydrogen ion in solution which determines the STRENGTH of the acid. HENCE HCl is a stronger acid than acetic acid.
