What is a strong acid?
A strong acid is one that completely dissociates into its ions in solution, leading to a high concentration of hydrogen ions.
What is a weak acid?
A weak acid is one that partially dissociates into its ions in solution, resulting in a lower concentration of hydrogen ions compared to strong acids.
Examples of strong acids
Hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and nitric acid (HNO3) are common examples of strong acids.
Examples of weak acids
Acetic acid (CH3COOH), citric acid, and carbonic acid (H2CO3) are examples of weak acids.
What is the pH of strong acids?
Strong acids typically have a pH ranging from 0 to 3, indicating high acidity.
What is the pH of weak acids?
Weak acids generally have a pH greater than 3 but can still be below 7, depending on their concentration.
What factors influence acid strength?
Acid strength is influenced by the stability of its conjugate base and the extent of dissociation in solution.
What defines a strong acid versus a weak acid?
A strong acid completely dissociates in solution, while a weak acid only partially dissociates.
