(d) : HSO3 F is the super acid. Its acidic strength is greater than any given species. The pKa value of other species are given below :
HCO3– →10.25
H3 O+ →...
HCl + HOH --------> Cl- + H3O+
CH3COOH + HOH --------> CH3COO- + H3O+
HCl is strong acid but chloride ion is a weak base similarly CH3COOH is weak acid but CH3COO-...
(b) Formic acid is stronger than acetic acid due to its chemical composition. Formic acid is an organic acid as well as active acid in an organic acid.
These solutions can be tested by using universal indicators. If the solution (i) turns red it is an acid and If the solution (ii) remains colourless it is a base.
