better acid??

I think above two may be the possible reasons....maybe not the exact one

thanks i understood it

look we are not comparing strength of HCl in two different solvents.we are comparing strength of the two solutions...........y r u not reading this line properly

moreover,i wrote add water to explain clearly.........it is not unneccesary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if u will words i made bold u will get the core concept of problem!!!!!

look if u got now!!!!!!!!!!

@sriraghav

y not satisfied!!!!!!!

okay.....do one thing

read posts in this order #12,then#7and finally #11......then reply!!!!!!!!

@sriraghav

read the question properly!!!!!!!!!

they r not asking when HCl will be more acidic.

instead they r asking which solution will be more acidic..

bhai..............

after this let me try more .......

since HCl in solution 2 in not yet ionised wat do u think will happen if u add some water to it??????????

it will ionise....right.........i.e.solution 2 is more acidic

now do same with solution 1!.....wat do u conclude

clearly,now i think everything shud be crystal clear!!!!!!!!!!!

boyd and morrison ka question hai.
ans HCl in benzene diya hua hai

yes rickde, i agree wit u..

@!john.....if an acid furnishes more H+ ions in the solvent more it is acidic....What is the specific reason??

May be common ion effect more predominent in Hcl in water will reduce H+ dissociation??

Hcl is partially polar,ie it is between polar and non-polar nature.... there fore it increases it's dissociation in bensene(partial non-polar nature is due to high electronegaticity of cl atom)

but why is that so????

ya........mr.morrison is right(absolutely)

i din read this line of your question in a hurry

which solution is a stronger acid.
HCl dissolved in water or HCl dissolved (unionised) in benzene???

solution of HCl dissolved(unionised) in benzene is stronger acid!!!!
hope u got it!!!!!!!![1]

why is that so????
