Which of the following gives the correct increasing order of acid strength?

A

Water `lt` Acetic acid `lt` Hydrochloric acid

B

Water `lt` Hydrochloric acid `lt` Acetic acid

C

Acetic acid `lt` Water `lt` Hydrochloric acid

D

Hydrochloric acid `lt` Water `lt` Acetic acid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
This is because it is a strong acid, HCl has the maximum acidic strength and entirely or 100 percent ionises into its ions. Acetic acid partially dissociates into its ions and both the ions, acetate and hydrogen ions, are present at equilibrium. Both have a lower acidic strength than HCI.Water is the weakest of all the elements.
