Acids and bases are not all of equal strength in producing H+ and OH- ions in solution. The amount of H+ or -OH determines their strengths. And if the acid or base conducts electricity strongly, it is a strong acid or base. We use pH values to indicate this.

∙ 13y agoacid strength is mainly depend on the active hydrogen ( the "H" atoms attached with highly electronegative atoms such as F,N,O etc or with some groups like C=O gp).
basic strength depends on how easily -OH is available i.e. mainly depends on the electronegativity of that atom from which -OH gp is attached.

∙ 14y agothe pH scale; if a solution has a rating of 7 pH, it is neutral (water is 7.0). Anything below 7 is an acid, and anything above 7, all the way to 14, is a base. The further from 7 the pH rating is, the more acidic or basic the solution is.

∙ 6y agoThe strength of an acid or a base depends on the degree to which it dissociates. If it dissociates completely, it is a strong acid/base. If it only dissociates to a very small extent, it is a weak acid/base.

∙ 13y agoThe factor that determines the strength of an acid or base is it's concentration.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe strength of acid or base refer to how strong electricity conductors they are. The more the conduct electricity, the more strong they are.

∙ 9y agoThe strength depends upon dissociation constant of the acid.
This is related to the ability to lose protons (H+) and to be completely dissociated in water.

Is dilute hydrocloric acid a strong acid?
Whether or not an acid is strong doesn't depend on concentration. Most definitions for acid strength depend on the acid dissociation constant (pKa). Strong acids are generally defined as those with a pKa less than -1.74. Since HCl meets this definition, it is a strong acid, regardless of concentration.
What dissolves granite?
Any acid is capacble of dissolving granite, though the rate of which it is dissolved depends upon the "strength" of the acid. The "strength" of an acid can be measured commnly by pH. So an acid with a pH of 6 will take a long time to disolve the granite, whereas an acid with a pH of 1 will take a much shorter time.
Why is the concentration of an acid different from the strength of an acid?

How is the strength of a weak acid related to the strength of conjugate base?
The weaker the acid, the stronger the conjugate base and vice versa
Is baby powder an acid or base?
Baby powder is an acid and has a substance strength of 8.
Is hcl stronger than nitric acid?
Hydrochloric acid and nitric acid have comparable degrees of acidity; the strength of either acid will depend upon the concentration.
What would happen if you ate hydrochloric acid?
It would very much depend on the strength of the acid, which you do not indicate. Your stomach is already full of hydrochloric.
The strength of an acid does not depend on how completely a compound is pulled apart to form ions when dissolved in water?

What do motion depend on?
There are three things that motion depends upon. The first is the mass of the object that is to be set into motion. The second is the strength of the friction that is going up against the object. The third is the strength of the gravity that is pulling upon the object.

Is dilute related to acid?
Not necessarily. When a dilute substance is one that has a low concentration in a given solution. It could refer to any dissolved substance which may or may not be an acid. If a solution is acidic, then the acidity will depend on both the concentration and the strength of the acid.

The number will depend upon the size of the cart and the strength and number of horses pulling the cart.
How strong is acid?
The strength of acid depends on its pH really.
