Acids and Bases

Question 1

Define weak base

Answer 1

it is not a fully ionized solution

Question 2

Define strong base

Answer 2

it is a completely/fully/100% ionized solution

Question 3

Define weak acid

Answer 3

any acid that does not dissociate fully into ions e.g. acetic acid

Question 4

Define strong acid

Answer 4

any acid that dissociates fully into ions e.g. (HCl aq —. H+ g + Cl- aq)

Question 5

List of strong acids

Answer 5

HCl
HBr
HI
HNO3
H2SO4
HClO3
HClO4

Question 6

List of strong bases

Answer 6

LiOH
NaOH
KOH
RbOH
CsOH
Mg(OH)2
Ca(OH)2
Sr(OH)2
Ba(OH)2

Question 7

why is C5H5N a weak base

Answer 7

N in pyridine is a proton acceptor however it does not have an OH compound hence it is weak

Question 8

Acids are…

Bases are…..

Answer 8

…proton donors
……proton acceptors hence there is a proton transfer from acids to bases
and protons are H+ ions
