Question
Mineral acids are stronger acids than carboxylic acids because
- mineral acids are completely ionised
- carboxylic acids are completely ionised
- mineral acids are partially ionised
- carboxylic acids are partially ionised
Options
(i) and (iv)
(ii) and (iii)
(i) and (ii)
(iii) and (iv)
Solution
(i) and (iv)
Explanation -
Mineral acids like sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid etc. are completely ionised. Hence, they are strong acids. Carboxylic acids are partially ionised, they are weak acids.
