State the basicity of the following acids

1. HNO3
2. H2SO4
3. CH3COOH

1 answer

1. HNO3 - Nitric acid is a strong acid and therefore it is not considered basic.
2. H2SO4 - Sulfuric acid is a strong acid and therefore it is not considered basic.
3. CH3COOH - Acetic acid is a weak acid and therefore it can act as a weak base in certain reactions.
