Strong Acids and Weak Acids Flashcards
1
Q
What do Acids do in water?
A
they ionise producing hydrogen ions
2
Q
What are some examples of strong acids that ionise completely in water?
A
Sulfuric, hydrochloric, and nitric acids
3
Q
What are some examples of weak acids that do not fully ionise in water?
A
Ethanoic, citric and carbonic acids
4
Q
Is the ionisation of a weak acid a reversible or non-reversible reaction?
A
Reversible Reaction
5
Q
What is pH?
A
The measurement of the concentration of Hydrogen ions
6
Q
What is the pH of a strong acid with the same concentration as a weak acid?
A
The pH is less
7
Q
What does the strength of the acid mean?
A
what proportion of the acid molecules ionise in water
8
Q
What does concentration mean?
A
How much acid there is in a certain volume of water
