Chemisyry QUESTION

Can someone please explain why the answer is B

Hi!

The pH would be equal to 3 if we were dealing with a strong acid.
However acetic acid is a weak acid, meaning that it doesn’t fully dissociate in a solution.
Because of this the pH of a weak acid is less acidic than the pH of a strong acid.
So pH acetic acid > 3

Hope this helps!
