Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The given statement which says an acid is strong in aqueous solution needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
A strong acid is a compound that is completely dissociates in solution.
Answer to Problem 13A
That compound which is completely ionized by donating the one proton is said to be a strong acid. The anion of the acid will not attract the hydrogen ion which means that acid is stronger while the conjugate base is weaker.
Explanation of Solution
A compound that gives hydrogen ion when dissolved completely in the solution, is said to be strong acid. In the case ofa strong acid, the acid is stronger while the conjugate base is weakerwithout any attraction of the hydrogen ion by the anion of the acid.
There is noattraction of hydrogen ion by the acid’s anion. So, it results in stronger acid and weaker conjugate base.
