You are given two solution A and B. The pH of solutin A is 6 and pH of solution A is 6 and pH of solutin B is 8.
(i) Which solution is acidic and which is basic ?
(ii) Which solution has more `H^(+)` ion concentration ?
(iii) Why si HCl a stronger acid than acetic acid ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) The solution with pH 6 is acidic while the solution with pH 8 is basic, (ii) The solution with pH 6 has more `H^(+)` ion concentration. (iii) HCl is a stronger acid than `CH_(3)COOH` since its degree of dissociation `(alpha)` is more or it releases more `H^(+)` ions in solution than acetic acid.
