Strong Acids and Bases

Strong Acids

• Definition: Strong acids are acids that completely dissociate into ions when dissolved in water.

• Examples:

  • Hydrochloric Acid: $HCl$
  • Hydrobromic Acid: $HBr$
  • Hydroiodic Acid: $HI$
  • Nitric Acid: $HNO_3$
  • Sulfuric Acid: $H<em>2SO</em>4$
  • Perchloric Acid: $HClO_4$

Strong Bases

• Definition: Strong bases are bases that completely dissociate into ions when dissolved in water.

• Examples:

  • Sodium Hydroxide: $NaOH$
  • Lithium Hydroxide: $LiOH$
  • Potassium Hydroxide: $KOH$
  • Calcium Hydroxide: $Ca(OH)_2$
  • Strontium Hydroxide: $Sr(OH)_2$
  • Barium Hydroxide: $Ba(OH)_2$
