strong acids and weak acids Flashcards
1
Q
types of strong acids
A
hydrochloride acid , sulfuric acid, nitric acid
2
Q
types of weak acids
A
carbonic acid, ethanoic acid, citric acid
3
Q
what is an aqueous solution?
A
dissolved in water
4
Q
what does ionise mean
A
it splits
5
Q
what do strong acids do in water?
A
ionised completely, making all acid particles dissociate completely to form H+ ions
6
Q
what do weak acids do in water?
A
don’t fully ionise and only a small proportion dissociate
7
Q
what type of reaction is an ionisation of a weak acid?
A
reversible reaction
8
Q
what does the concentration of an acid tell us ?
A
it tells us the amount of acid molecules in a given volume of a solution
