Q
Q: Which of the following acids is the strongest?
Solution:
Formic acid (HCOOH) is stronger than acetic acid and other listed acids.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that acids can vary in strength, which means some can donate protons (H+) more easily than others.
Step 2: Identify the acids listed in the question. In this case, we have formic acid (HCOOH) and acetic acid (CH3COOH).
Step 3: Look up the pKa values of the acids. A lower pKa value indicates a stronger acid.
Step 4: Compare the pKa values: Formic acid has a lower pKa than acetic acid, meaning it is a stronger acid.
Step 5: Conclude that formic acid (HCOOH) is stronger than acetic acid and any other acids mentioned.
