Why are carboxyl groups considered acidic? Explain why the pH of 1.0M hydrochloric acid is 1.0M while that of 1.0M ethanoic acid is 5.0. Explain why the pH decreases when SO_3 is dissolved in water. An acid, HA, is 90% unionized. Is this a strong or weak acid? Explain. Are salts...
Acidic strength refers to the tendency of a compound to give proton in the aqueous solution. Higher the tendency of a compound to give protons in the solution, higher will be the acidic strength. Answer and Explanation:1 HI is more acidic than HCl because HI can easily dona...
