Consider two beakers,one containing 1.0 M HCl and the other containing 1.0 M CH 3 COOH.Which solution would have the lowest pH?

1.0 M HCl is a strong acid and dissociates completely in water, resulting in a higher concentration of hydronium ions compared to 1.0 M CH3COOH, which is a weak acid and does not dissociate completely.

Multiple Choice

Consider two beakers,one containing 1.0 M HCl and the other containing 1.0 M CH₃COOH.Which solution would have the lowest pH?

A) 1.0 M CH₃COOH because its solution contains a lower hydronium ion concentration than 1.0 M HCl
B) 1.0 M HCl because its solution contains a higher hydronium ion concentration than 1.0 M CH₃COOH
C) 1.0 M HCl because its solution contains a lower hydronium ion concentration than 1.0 M CH₃COOH
D) 1.0 M CH₃COOH because its solution contains a higher hydronium ion concentration than 1.0 M HCl
E) Both solutions would have the same pH because they have the same concentration.
