Why acetic has less conductivity than Hcl?
Acetic acid has less conductivity, because it ionizes less in solution. HCl separates almost completely in solution to form the ions Cl- and H+. Acetic acid only partially ionizes into CH3COO- and H+ with lots of it staying as complete CH3COOH molecules. It is the concentration of ions in a solution, which determines its conductivity. An electric current passes through the solution by movement of these ions. The extent to which any partially ionized substance actually ionizes can be expressed as its pKa value. What is the chemical formula of detergent? The chemical formula for detergent certainly is not “c3h8o5,” as was suggested. (“c3h8o5” does not even exist as a molecule.) Rather, the chemical formula for “detergent” really depends on what you mean by the word. By itself the word does not connoted any specific formula (must/must not have this function group). Commercial detergents are made up of many different chemical compounds (different surfactants, colorants, pH modifiers, chlor
