They have to give you the DOI.

Thanks to everyone who made a contribution to the clearance of this misconception that I had, it is not a significant one, but it is always good to clear things up! I thought that strong always means lower pH, but I went through my amazing set of notes to revise this concept again and realised...

H2SO4 is more acidic and has a lower pH but HCl is stronger. The End.

If both H2SO4 and HCl have a 100% degree of ionisation then their pH should be equal to each other. However, since H2SO4 undergoes a second ionisation, it adds to the first ionisation, increasing the concentration of H+ [H+] making it more acidic, however, the second ionisation is theoratically...

LOL We use concentration of [H+], divide it by the concentration of the whole solution i.e. [H2SO4] then multiply by 100 to find the degree of ionisation...

Yes. You assume it is completely ionised in both first and second ionisations which makes it stronger than HCl, which I think is wrong... If they give you concentrations you can do [H+]/[Solution]x100=DOI...

These are the main ones, I think. And esters are easy CnH2nO2 and put the COO in the middle. Acid Mono: HCl, HNO3, CH3COOH Acid Di:Sulfuric acid, Carbonic acid, chromic acid, oxalic acid, sulfurous acid, glycine, hydrogen sulfide Acid Tri: Phosphoric acid, Citric Acid, Base Mono: KOH, NaOH...

We just multiply [H2SO4] by 2 and then use -log[H+] to find the pH of the solution but that gives a lower pH meaning H2SO4 is more acidic. I just tried it on my calculator, type -log(0.001)=3 but if you type -log(2x0.001)=2.699 which means H2SO4 is stronger. Also, in the 2008 (I think) JRAHS...

Cool.

Sorry for the wording of my question. I was asking about how we identify them. The only way to identify weird ones is to know the structural formula e.g. citric acid. So I was asking for which acids/basis/esters do we need to be familiar with the structural formula in order to be able to...

When calculating the pH of H2SO4 do we multiply the concentration by 2 i.e. -log[2H+] This means it is stronger than HCL so is that always true? What about H3PO4 and other polyprotics? or since they are weak we don't multiply the concentration by anything?

I know why things are called mono, di, tri protic... That's not the question my friend.

ok thanks

Works :)

OK Thank you :)

Does the image have to be a linK?

Why is citric acid triprotic? What other acids are triprotic other than citric and H3PO4. Can anyone please list the names of the acids/bases/esters for which we have to memorise the structural formula i.e. knowing the molecular formula (C6H8O7) wouldn't help in classifying citric acid as a...

so [tex ]...[ /tex] is for latex [video ]...[ /video] is for videos What do I type if I wanna upload an image? I mean how do I upload an image? I tried to upload a picture to a solution to a maths question through attachment and an error message kept coming up...

What is the easiest way to check if someone replied to my posts/a post I commented on. At the moment I search my name so all posts that relate to me come up but I'm sure there is a better way. Thanks.
