Comparing the reactions of Ethanoic Acid and Sulfuric Acid

Question 1

What type of acid is Ethanoic Acid

Answer 1

Weak Acid pH 3

Question 2

What type of acid is Sulphuric Acid

Answer 2

Strong Acid pH 1

Question 3

What salt does Ethanoic Acid create?

Answer 3

Ethanoate Salt

Question 4

What salt does Sulphuric Acid create?

Answer 4

Sulfate Salt

Question 5

What does a Alkali create?

Answer 5

Acid + Alkali - Salt + Water

Question 6

What does a Base create?

Answer 6

Acid + Base - Salt + Water

Question 7

What does a Carbonate create?

Answer 7

Acid + Carbonate - Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide

Question 8

What does a Metal create?

Answer 8

Metal + Acid - Salt + Hydrogen

Question 9

What are the observations of Alkali reacting?

Answer 9

Temperature rises in both reactions

Question 10

What are the observations of Base reacting?

Answer 10

Temperature rises in both, base dissolves slower in ethanoic acid

Question 11

What are the observations of Carbonate reacting?

Answer 11

Bubbles of CO2 given off in both, more bubbles in Sulphuric acid

Question 12

What are the observations of Metal reacting?

Answer 12

Fizzing due to hydrogen gas more fizzing in Sulphuric acid.

Question 13

What is the overall observations of these reactions?

Answer 13

Both react similarly but the rate of reactions for ethnic acid is slower as it is a weaker acid.
