Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid. Acetic acid is a weak acid. Which of these two acids will change less when combined with water, and why?

A. Acetic acid will change less because it will produce fewer H+ ions. A greater number of hydrogen atoms will remain unchanged in the compound.

B. Acetic acid will change less because it will produce more H+ ions. Fewer hydrogen atoms will remain unchanged in the compound.

C. Hydrochloric acid will change less because it will produce fewer H+ ions. A greater number of hydrogen atoms will remain unchanged in the compound.

D. Hydrochloric acid will change less because it will produce more H+ ions. Fewer hydrogen atoms will remain unchanged in the compound.

Respuesta :

The answer is A  A weak acid produces less H+  ions than a strong acid.

Hydrochloric acid is  completely ionised  in water whereas acetic acid only partly ionises.

Acetic acid will change less compared to hydrochloric acid when combined with water because because it will produce fewer H+ ions. A greater number of hydrogen atoms will remain unchanged in the compound.

We have to bear in mind that acetic acid is a weak acid while hydrochloric acid is a strong acid.

A strong acid ionizes completely in solution while a weak acid only ionizes partially in solution and remains largely unionized.

The change that acids undergo when combined with water is ionization. Owing to the fact that acetic acid is a weak acid, it produces only few  H+ ions and a greater number of hydrogen atoms will remain unchanged in the compound.
