  • Nitric
  • Sulphuric
17
Q

What is the difference between concentration and strength of an acid?

A
  • Concentration is the amount of acid (particles) in a solution.
    WHEREAS
    Strength is the degree of ionisation of hydrogen ions in aqueous solutions.
18
Q

What is a weak acid?

A

A weak acid is one that is only partially ionised in aqueous solution.

19
Q

Give 3 examples of weak acids.

A
  • Ethanoic acid
  • Citric acid
  • Carbonic acid
20
Q

What happens to the hydrogen ion concentration as the pH increases by one unit?

A
  • The hydrogen ion concentration will decrease by factor of 10.
21
Q

What is a base?

A
  • A base is a substance that will react with an acid to neutralise it and form a salt and water.
22
Q

What is the general equation for an acid + metal carbonate?

A
