2. Equal length of magnesium ribbon are taken in two test tubes ‘A’ and ‘B, H2SO4 is
added to test tube ‘A’ and CH3COOH in the test tube ‘B’ in equal amounts:
(a) Identify the test tube showing vigorous reaction.
(b) Give reason to support your answer.
(c) Out of the two acids taken above
(i) which one will have lower pH value.
(ii) lowerH+ concentration respectively

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data

               Test tube 1                                     Test tube 2

          Magnesium + Sulfuric acid          Magnesium + Acetic acid

             Mg + H₂SO₄                                     Mg + CH₃COOH

a) Test tube 1 will have a more vigorous reaction than test tube 2.

b) Sulfuric acid is a strong acid and Acetic acid is a weak acid.

c)

i.- Sulfuric acid because is a strong acid

ii.- Acetic acid because is a weak acid.
