For the same concentration of an acid the lower the pH then the stronger the acid.

Similarly for bases the higher the pH for equal concentrations the stronger the base.

How do the constants Ka and Kb relate to the relative strengths of a series of acids or bases?

The constants Ka and Kb relate to the relative strengths of series of acids or bases by being proportional. The higher the Ka or Kb value, the stronger the acid or base.


What is used to measure the strengths of acids and bases?

A pH meter.


Why are acids and bases considered strong?

They either have a high concentration of H+ ions (acids) or OH- ions (bases). Strong acids and bases are also highly corrosive relative to weaker more neutral acids/bases.


What is pH scale how it is used?

a pH scale is something used for measuring the strengths of acids and bases.


How are the strengths of acids and bases measured?

On a scale of 1-14 measuring the concentrations of Ph and POh.


Why acids and bases can differ in their strengths?

The strength of an acid or a base is determined primarily by the degree to which it ionizes or dissociates. The more it dissociates, the stronger it will be.


Is acids and bases corrosives?

Yes, concentrated acids and bases are more corrosive than dilute acids and bases
