Strong & weak acids and bases

Question 1

Strong acid

Answer 1

Completely dissociates in aqueous solution

Question 2

Weak acid

Answer 2

Partially dissociates in aqueous solution

Question 3

Why is a strong acid a strong acid?

Answer 3

It has a weak H-A bond that easily break

Question 4

Why is a weak acid a weak acid?

Answer 4

It has a strong H-A bond that needs more energy to break

Question 5

Acid dissiociation constant equation

Answer 5

k_a = [H⁺] [A^-] / [HA]

Equilibrium constant but for acids

Question 6

3 ways to determine strong and weak acids at equal concentration

Answer 6

1. Strong acid has lower pH
2. Strong acid reacts faster with metals
3. Strong acid better conductor of electricity
