Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation Keq=10(pKBHpKAH) is to be derived.

Concept introduction:

Dissociation constant Ka is used to measure the strength of a Brønsted acid. There is an inverse relationship between the acidity of a Brønsted acid and its pKa value. Higher the value of pKa, weaker is the acid.

Hydrochloric acid in the stomach is a very strong acid compared to ethanoic acid that is found in citrus fruits. Explain (with reference to formation of hydronium ions) why hydrochloric acid has a much lower pH compared to ethanoic acid. You should support this answer with accompanying ionic equations.
