AnswersDriveA weak acid is an acid that dissociates incompletely, releasing only some of its hydrogen atoms into the solution. Thus, it is less capable than a strong acid at donating protons. These acids have higher pKa than strong acids, which release all of their hydrogen atoms when dissolved in water.
What are the strong acids and bases?
Some common strong Arrhenius bases include:
- Potassium hydroxide (KOH)
- Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
- Barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2)
- Caesium hydroxide (CsOH)
- Strontium hydroxide (Sr(OH)2)
- Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2)
- Lithium hydroxide (LiOH)
- Rubidium hydroxide (RbOH)

What is an example of a weak acid?
A weak acid is an acid that doesn't produce many hydrogen ions when in aqueous solution. Weak acids have relatively low pH values and are used to neutralize strong bases. Examples of weak acids include: acetic acid (vinegar), lactic acid, citric acid, and phosphoric acid.

What is the PH level of a weak acid?
A strong acid is an acid where the pH is lower than, generally, 3. These acids are in very high concentration of H+ ions (an acid of pH 3 has 0.001 moles per liter of H+), while a weak acid's pH ranges from 3 to 7.

What is the difference between a strong and a weak base?
A strong base is a compound that will completely ionise into metal and hydroxide ions when in solution. Conversely, a weak base only partially ionises to metal and hydroxide ions in solution. The primary difference between a weak base and a strong base is the base's ability to accept a hydroxide ion when in solution.

Which PH do most crops grow best at?
A pH of 6.5 is just about right for most home gardens, since most plants thrive in the 6.0 to 7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral) range. Some plants (blueberries, azaleas) prefer more strongly acidic soil, while a few (ferns, asparagus) do best in soil that is neutral to slightly alkaline.
5
What are the 7 strong acids and bases?
7 strong acids
- hydrochloric acid. HCL.
- hydrobromic acid. HBr.
- Hydroiodic acid. HI.
- Nitric acid. HNO3.
- Perchloric acid. HClO4.
- Sulfuric acid. H2SO4.
- Chloric acid. HClO3.
6
Is acetic acid weak or strong?
Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a carboxylic acid (RCOOH), and the majority of the carboxylic acids are weak acids, including acetic acid. On the other hand, 0.9 million molecules of stronger acids like HCL and H2SO4 can dissociate in a million molecules of water at room temperature.

- Barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2)
- Caesium hydroxide (CsOH)
- Strontium hydroxide (Sr(OH)2)

What is the PH level of hydrochloric acid?
pH of common acids like sulfuric, acetic and more
| Acid | Normality | pH |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrochloric | 0.1 N | 1.1 |
| Hydrochloric | 0.01 N | 2.0 |
| Hydrocyanic | 0.1 N | 5.1 |
| Hydrogen sulfide | 0.1 N | 4.1 |

What would be the ph of a strong base?
Strong Bases. Like strong acids, a strong base dissociates nearly completely in water; however, it releases hydroxide (OH-) ions rather than H+. Strong bases have very high pH values, usually about 12 to 14.
10
Is nitric acid strong or weak?
A strong acid is completely dissociated in water while a weak acid is in equilibrium with its conjugate base in water. Let's look at the reaction of a strong acid, nitric acid or HNO3, and a weaker acid, nitrous acid or HNO2, in water.
11
Can you have a concentrated weak acid?
The concentration tells you about how much of the original acid is dissolved in the solution. It is perfectly possible to have a concentrated solution of a weak acid, or a dilute solution of a strong acid.
12
What is strong base?
A strong base is something like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide which is fully ionic. You can think of the compound as being 100% split up into metal ions and hydroxide ions in solution. Each mole of sodium hydroxide dissolves to give a mole of hydroxide ions in solution.
13
What is the definition of a strong acid?
This determines an acid's strength. A strong acid is any acid that ionizes completely in solutions. This means it gives off the greatest number of hydrogen ions or protons when placed in a solution. Ions are charged particles.
14
What is a very strong base?
Strong bases are bases which completely dissociate in water into the cation and OH- (hydroxide ion). The hydroxides of the Group I (alkali metals) and Group II (alkaline earth) metals usually are considered to be strong bases. These are classic Arrhenius bases. Here is a list of the most common strong bases.
15
What determines the strength of an acid or a base?
Acids or bases with weak bonds easily dissociate into ions and are called "strong" acids or bases. All characteristics of acids and bases are related to whether the predominate forms are molecules and ions. Acid or base "strength" is a measure of how readily the molecule ionizes in water.
16
Which is a weak acid?
Acid solutions contain hydrogen ions. The higher the concentration of hydrogen ions, the lower the pH. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid and ethanoic acid is a weak acid. Strong acids are fully ionised but weak acids are only partly ionised in solution.
17
What makes a strong base strong?
A strong base is something like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide which is fully ionic. You can think of the compound as being 100% split up into metal ions and hydroxide ions in solution. Some strong bases like calcium hydroxide aren't very soluble in water.
18
Do weak acids dissolve in water?
Weak acids and bases are only partially ionized in their solutions, whereas strong acids and bases are completely ionized when dissolve in water. The ionization of weak acids and bases is a chemical equilibrium phenomenon.
19
Is LIOH a strong or weak acid?
Hydroxides of all alkali metals are strong base but LiOH is least basic because the dissociation of LiOH is minimum in water.As LiOH is having maxmium covalent character because of Fajans' Rule. LiOH is a weak base because it is more covalent due to small size.
