Mineral acids are stronger acids than carboxylic acids because (i) Mineral acids are completely ionised. (ii) Carboxylic acids are completely ionised. (iii) Mineral acids are partially ionised. (iv) Carboxylic acids are partially ionised.

Mineral acids are stronger acids than carboxylic acids because (i) Mineral acids are completely ionised. (ii) Carboxylic acids are completely ionised. (iii) Mineral acids are partially ionised. (iv) Carboxylic acids are partially ionised. Correct Answer (i) and (iv)

Concept:

The Hydronium ion is formed when an acid dissociates in aqueous medium:

H+ (from acid) + H2O → H3O+ (Hydronium ion)

Larger Hydronium ion concentration simply means that the acid is more dissociated in the medium.

Application:

Mineral acids like nitric acid, sulphuric acid are stronger than carboxylic acid as they can ionize 100% in their solution.

Carboxylic acids, on the other hand, do not dissociate 100%

Read this statement and state which of the following arguments is/are stronger. Statement: The Central Government should abolish the death penalty in India. Conclusions: I.
