Q

What is a strong acid? How can you tell from a reaction equation?

A

Acid that fully dissociates and are strong electrolytes (conduct electricity better than weak acids), so reaction arrow going one way not both

Q

What is a weak acid? How can you tell from a reaction equation?

A

Partial dissociated into ions, weak electrolytes ( electrical conductivity depends on extent of ionization), equation arrows are equilibrium arrows
