Consider the two acids and . When in (separate) solutions they react in the following way:
- The of the was measured at 1. The of the was measured at .
- of each acid was reacted with an excess of sodium carbonate . The reaction between and was vigorous. The reaction between and was much slower.
- Each reaction produced the same amount of gas.
(a) Which acid has the greatest concentration of ions in solution?
(b) Explain why the same amount of gas was produced despite the of the acids being different:

Step 1
1 of 4Consider the two acids HCl and CHCOOH. They dissociate in aqueous solutions individually:
The pH of HCl is 1 while for CHCOOH is 2.88. 25 mL of 0.1 mol/L each acid reacted with excess of NaCO forming the same amount of CO gas. During the experiment, it was observed that:
- the reaction between HCl and NaCO was intense
- the reaction between CHCOOH and NaCO progressed slowly
Based on this information, answer:
(a) indicate which acid has the greatest concentration of H ions in solution
(b) why both acids produced the same amount of gas given the different vales in pH
