20 mL slutions of 0.1M concentration of Sulfuric acid, Nitric acid and Ethanoic acid are seperately titrated with 0.1M of NaOH. In order to react completely:
A: all three acids would require the same amount of NaOH
B: Nitric acid woud require more NaOH than ethanoic acid but less than Sulfuric acid
C: Sulfuric acid and Nitric acid would require the same amount of NaOH but ethanoic acid would require less
D: Ethanoic acid and Nitric acid would require the same amount of NaOH, but sulfuric acid would require more
The answer is D, but can someone explain why ethanoic acid and nitric acid require the same amount, i get that they are monoprotic acids and sulfuric acid is diprotic, but in reality, ethanoic acid and nitric acid of same concentration would produce very different amounts of H+ ions, because of their different Ka values and they would ionise to different extents. Isn't the NaOH reacting with the H+ ions, so more ethanoic acid should be needed to produce H+ needed for the reaction, because it ionises to a lesser extent.
Isn't this supposed to a Unit 3 questin lol
