Strong & weak acids Flashcards
1
Q
What determines the strength of an acid?
A
- How many of its particles ionise in water
2
Q
How much does a strong acid dissociate in water?
A
- Completely
- All acid particles dissociate into H+
3
Q
What is the strength and concentraction of an acid?
A
- Strength = how much an acid dissociates
- Concentraction = how much acid there is per given volume
4
Q
Decrease by 1 in pH scale means how many more particles have ionised?
A
- 10x more particles have ionised
