Chapter 10, Problem 10.53AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The two different acids with same concentrations with different $\text{pH}$ values should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

$\text{Bronsted-Lowry Acids}$: If a species loses a proton then it is considered as $\text{Bronsted-Lowry acid}\text{.}$

Strong Acids: Acids that dissociates into ions completely which results in easy donation of protons are considered as strong acids. Strong acid forms weaker conjugated base.

Weak Acids: Acids that do not easily dissociate into ions completely which has difficulty in proton donation are considered as weak acids. Weak acid forms stronger conjugated base

If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.
