The strength of an acid based on concentration of what ions?
Hydrogen ion (H+) [technically it is hydronium ion (H3O+)] that determines the strength of an acid. A mole of hydrochloric acid (HCl) produces 1 mole of H+ ions, then that is a strong acid. Weak acids give smaller amounts of H+ for a mole of substance.
The strenghth of an acid is based on the concentration of what ions?
The strength of an acid is based on the concentration of hydrogen ions. Any compound with hydrogen in front of it, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) is acidic.
The strength of an acid is based on the concentration of What is ions?
The strength of an acid is based on the concentration of What ions? HCl + H2O = H3O^+1 + Cl^-1 H3O^+1 is the hydronium ion that all acids produce in water. The more hydronium ions per liter of acid, the stronger the acid!!
What factor determines the strength of an acid or a base?
The strength of an acid or base depends on its concentration. More the concentration of Hydrogen ions [H+] more acidic it is and more the concentration of Hydroxide ions [OH-] more basic it is.
How is pH related to the strength an acid?
PH is the concentration of H+ ions and if more acid is added then more of H+ ions are released, thereby increasing the ph
What determines the strength of an acid and a base in water?
The concentration of dissociable H+ ions is a measure of the acidity of the substance. The concentration of dissociable OH- ions is a measure of the basicity of the substance.
How much pH is in strong acid?
pH is not a measure of how strong an acid is. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution, which is dependent on both the strength of the acid or base and its concentration in a given solution.
On the pH scale what is the pH of an acid?
0 - 6.9 The lower the pH number the higher the concentration of hydronium ions and higher the strength of acid
How do you calculate the strength of 1 M HCl?
The strength of an acid is the extent to which it is dissociated into ions in dilute solution, and cannot be calculated from a molarity, which is a measure of concentration, not strength. Hydrocholoric acid is a strong acid. It is completely dissociated in I M solution.
What is the difference between the strength of an acid and the concentration of an acid?
Strength: how strong the bonds between the elements in the acid are. (the stronger the bonds the harder it is for the hydrogen ions to dissociate (break away) from the acid. Concentration: moles per liter. if there's a lot of the acid in a small amount of space there's a high concentration. just because the concentration is high, that doesn't mean the acid wouldn't easily break up.

Do strong acids have higher concentrations than weak acids?
No. The concentration of and acid and the strength of an acid are two unrelated values. The strength of an acid is the degree to which it will break apart into ions when dissolved in water. It is an inherent property of any given acid. The concentration of an acid is how much of it is present in proportion to its solvent (usually water) and is independent of any properties of the acid itself. You can take a solution of some acid and add it to water to lower the concentration or boil off some water to raise the concentration, but the properties of the acid itself remain the same.
