Strong Acids and Bases

Strong Acids and Bases

Strong Acids

• Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)

• Hydrobromic Acid (HBr)

• Hydroiodic Acid (HI)

• Nitric Acid (HNO₃)

• Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄)

• Chloric Acid (HClO₃)

• Perchloric Acid (HClO₄)

Strong Bases

• Lithium Hydroxide (LiOH)

• Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)

• Potassium Hydroxide (KOH)

• Rubidium Hydroxide (RbOH)

• Cesium Hydroxide (CsOH)

• Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂)

• Calcium Hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂)

• Strontium Hydroxide (Sr(OH)₂)

• Barium Hydroxide (Ba(OH)₂)

Summary of Information

• Strong acids are substances that completely dissociate in water, leading to a high concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺).

• Strong bases are substances that completely dissociate in water, leading to a high concentration of hydroxide ions (OH⁻).

• Both strong acids and bases contribute significantly to the pH levels in solutions, wherein strong acids lower pH and strong bases raise pH.
