Chapter 14.5, Problem 14.12CE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

On the basis of charge, hydrogen sulfate ion is weaker acid than $H_{2}S{O}_4$ has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

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.
