Chapter 16, Problem 16.26QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Formulas of four strong acids and four weak acids has to be given.

Concept Information:

The strength of an acid/base depends on the degree of dissociation of acid/base in water.

If an acid that dissociate completely in water to give high concentration of $H^{+}$ ion the n it can be considered as a strong acid.

Examples: $H_{2}S{O}_4,HN{O}_3$

Weak acid is an acid which partially ionises in water to give low concentration of $H^{+}$ ion.

Examples: $C{H}_{3}COOH,H_{3}P{O}_4$
