Question

without doing any calculations indicate which of the five acids would give the highest [H+] in aqueous solutions of equal concentration Acids include: Acetic Acid pka 4.74, chloroacetic 2.85, succinc 4.21,hydrogen phthalate ion 5.21 formic acid 3.74 without doing any calculations indicate which of the five acids would give the highest [H+] in aqueous solutions of equal concentration Acids include: Acetic Acid pka 4.74, chloroacetic 2.85, succinc 4.21,hydrogen phthalate ion 5.21 formic acid 3.74 without doing any calculations indicate which of the five acids would give the highest [H+] in aqueous solutions of equal concentration Acids include: Acetic Acid pka 4.74, chloroacetic 2.85, succinc 4.21,hydrogen phthalate ion 5.21 formic acid 3.74

Explanation / Answer

A:- The relation between pKa and the [H^+] is inversely proportion, that means high pKa means less Ka (less ionization of acid, less [H^+]).

Decreasing order of the [H^+] :

Chloroacetic acid (2.85) > Formic acid (3.74) > Succinic (4.21) > Acetic acid (4.74) > Hydrogen phthalate ion (5.21)
