Which of the following acids is the strongest?
  1. Formic acid
  2. Acetic acid
  3. Propanoic acid
  4. Butanoic acid

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following acids is the strongest?
  • 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.
