Question

    An acid when added in water, has an active acidity of 0.099 M and potential acidity of 0.001 M and the total acid concentration is 0.100 M. This acid will be a

    A Weak acid Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Strong acid Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Neutral Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution
