What is a strong acid?

An acid that fully ionises in an aqueous solution

2
New cards

What is a weak acid?

An acid that partially ionises in an aqueous solution

3
New cards

What is a dilute acid?

An acid that has fewer acid molecules in a given volume

4
New cards

What are examples of strong acids?

Hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid

5
New cards

What are examples of weak acids?

Ethanoic acid, citric acid, carbonic acid

6
New cards

Why do strong acids have a lower pH than weak acids in aqueous reactions?

They completely ionise, meaning they produce a greater concentration of Hydrogen ions than weak acids

7
New cards

What happens to the concentration of Hydrogen ions if the pH unit goes up by 1?

It goes up by 10, this is called the order of magnitude?
