Explain the terms dilute and concentrated, with respect to amount of substances in solution.
a dilute solution contains a relatively small amount of dissolved solute. a concentrated solution contains a relatively large amount of dissolved solute.
Explain the terms weak and strong acids, with respect to the degree of dissociation into ions.
Strong acids dissociate completely, producing a high concentration of hydrogen ions, while weak acids dissociate partially, producing a lower concentration of hydrogen ions.
Define dissociation
a general process in which molecules (or ionic compounds such as salts, or complexes) separate or split into other things such as atoms, ions, or radicals, usually in a reversible manner.
