Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the two acids, acetic acid (CH₃COOH) or propanoic acid (CH₃CH₂COOH), is more acidic, we can analyze the stability of their corresponding carboxylate ions after the donation of a proton (H⁺). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: - Acetic acid: CH₃COOH - Propanoic acid: CH₃CH₂COOH ...
