Using the pH Scales, if I have 2 Acids, one with the pH of 2 and another with the pH of 5.8, the Acid with A pH of 2 is stronger. 7 in the pH scale means Nuetral, and 14 means very strong Alkaline.
Different acids will have varying levels of strength - the most obvious way to see this is to look at the pH of the acid. That is the lower the pH, the stronger the acid.The reason behind this is due...
A strong acid is an acid that dissociates completely when in aqueous solution. A weak acid is an acid that does not dissociate completely when in aqueous solution. Example of strong acid: HCl(aq)...
The pK-values determine the difference between strong and weak acids in water: Strong acid have pKa,strong < 0.0 (so negative values!) H3O+ is the 'shifting' value of pKa = 0.0 Weak acids have by...
