Question
Which of the following acid has the highest concentration of H+ ions?
Answer: Option A
:
A
Strong acids release H+ions more easily than weaker ones. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid, whereas, acetic acid (CH3COOH), citric acid (C6H8O7) and propanoic acid (CH3CH2COOH) areweak acids.
So, 1M hydrochloric acid will have a higher concentration ofH+ions than acetic acid and propanoic acid.
