Answer:
pH value of a solution depends on the concentration of hydrogen ions
(pH = -log[H+(aq)].
Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, while ethanoic acid is a weak acid. Strong acids ionize completely in water (to give ions which includes H+(aq)), while weak acids only ionize partially in water.
Therefore, even if both hydrochloric acid and ethanoic acid are monobasic acids (each molecule can ionize completely to give 1 hydrogen ion), since hydrochloric acid ionizes completely in water and ethanoic acid does not ionize completely, the concentration of hydrogen ions in hydrochloric acid is higher than that of ethanoic acid, leading to a lower pH value for hydrochloric acid, while higher for ethanoic acid.
I think you forgot to post a picture
It would be NaOH + HCl → <span>NaCl + H2O
</span>
NaOH is sodium hydroxide, which is a strong base. HCl is hydrochloric acid, which is a strong acid.
You have a strong base and a strong acid on the left side, however, at the result side, you end up with NaCl + H2O. Sodium chloride is simply table salt and H2O is just water, thus it has been neutralized.
