Strong acids give leveling effect in
Correct answer: B. Protophilic solvent
- A. Protogenic solvent
- B. Protophilic solvent
- C. Aprotic solvent
- D. Organic solvent
Explanation
Strong acids exhibit a leveling effect in protophilic solvents because these solvents are capable of accepting protons. This acceptance of protons causes strong acids to dissociate completely, resulting in the same level of acidity irrespective of the specific strong acid used. Protogenic solvents, on the other hand, donate protons and thus do not level strong acids. Aprotic solvents do not participate in proton exchange and therefore do not cause a leveling effect. Organic solvents can have diverse properties and do not uniformly cause a leveling effect for strong acids.
