Strength of ACccids and bases

Question 1

Strong Acid

Answer 1

An acid that completely dissociates in water and completely donates protons

Question 2

Weak acid

Answer 2

An acid that partially disassociates In water and donates hydrogen ions

Question 3

Strong Base

Answer 3

Completely dissociates in water and accepts protons

Question 4

Weak base

Answer 4

A base that doesn’t completely dissociate in water and does not completely accepts protons

Question 5

pH of acids

Answer 5

acids of the same concentration with lower pH’s are stronger

Question 6

Neutralisation Enthalpy

Answer 6

Strong acids with Strong bases release more energy when neutralised

Question 7

Conductivity

Answer 7

Stronger acids and bases are more conductive then weaker acids and bases

Question 8

Reaction Rate

Answer 8

Stronger acids and bases have a higher rate of reaction

Question 9

Acid Deposition

Answer 9

acid particles, gases and precipitation leave the atmosphere and deposited on the earth

Question 10

Nitrogen Oxides

Answer 10

Are byproducts of combustion engines (car, planes) and they undergo reactions with water in the atmosphere to form nitric acid

Question 11

Sulphur Oxide

Answer 11

Sulphur oxides are released when fossil fuels are burnt and they react with water in the atmosphere to form sulphuric acid.

Question 12

Alkaline scrubbing

Answer 12

using limestone and lime to create slag and that reduces the amount of sulphuric acid in the atmosphere

Question 13

Catalytic Conversion

Answer 13

IS using catalysts to break down nitrogen oxide into nitrogen and oxygen and that reduces the amount of nitric acid in the environment
