Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid. Acetic acid is a weak acid. Which statement about hydrochloric acid and acetic acid is correct?(1 point)
The dissociation constant for hydrochloric acid is greater than the dissociation constant for acetic acid.
The dissociation constant for hydrochloric acid is greater than the dissociation constant for acetic acid.
If the initial concentration of each acid is the same, then acetic acid will produce more H3O+ ions than hydrochloric acid.
If the initial concentration of each acid is the same, then acetic acid will produce more H, 3, O, +, ions than hydrochloric acid.
The pH of a solution of hydrochloric acid must be less than the pH of a solution of acetic acid.
The pH of a solution of hydrochloric acid must be less than the pH of a solution of acetic acid.
A solution of hydrochloric acid at equilibrium will have a greater concentration of solute than a solution of acetic acid at equilibrium.
i think it is b
1. NH2−
2. H2O and NaBr
3. Ca(OH)2
4. The dissociation constant for hydrochloric acid is greater than the dissociation constant for acetic acid.
5. decreasing the concentration of OH– ions
For my connexous people I just took it and that's the answers it gave me Ur welcome.
The answer is C. The dissociation constant for hydrochloric acid is greater than the dissociation constant for acetic acid.
You are correct, the statement "If the initial concentration of each acid is the same, then acetic acid will produce more H3O+ ions than hydrochloric acid" is correct.
To determine the dissociation constant of an acid, you can use the equilibrium expression for the acid's dissociation reaction. The equilibrium expression for hydrochloric acid (HCl) is:
HCl ⇌ H+ + Cl-
While acetic acid (CH3COOH) dissociates as:
CH3COOH ⇌ H+ + CH3COO-
The dissociation constant, Ka, is a measure of the extent of ionization of an acid in an aqueous solution. In this case, the Ka value for hydrochloric acid is much greater than the Ka value for acetic acid. This means that hydrochloric acid dissociates almost completely in water, whereas acetic acid only partially ionizes.
Since acetic acid is a weak acid and doesn't dissociate completely, it produces fewer H3O+ ions than hydrochloric acid when their initial concentrations are the same. Hence, option B, "If the initial concentration of each acid is the same, then acetic acid will produce more H3O+ ions than hydrochloric acid" is the correct statement.
