No. A strong base ionizes completely, while a weak acid only ionizes partially.

Is common salt acid or base or salt?
Common salt, table salt, sodium chloride, NaCl, whatever you call it is pretty much neutral in solution. This is because the double-replacement acid-base reaction that produces it has HCl and NaOH as reactants, and these are a strong acid and a strong base. Therefore, their "strength," which is a measure of their degree of ionization in solution, is about the same, and will cancel out.

Would it take the same amount of base to neutralize a weak acid as it would a strong acid?
The amount of base depends on the chemical formula of the acid.
In a strong acid the same thing as a concentrated acid?
No it is not. Strength refers to the degree to which and acid dissociates in water by releasing its hydrogen, the more it dissociates, the stronger it is. A strong acid dissociates completely. Concentration refers to the number of molecules in a particular volume.
Is a strong acid concentrated?
No. The strength and concentration of and acid are completely unrelated. A strong acid may be concentrated or dilute; the same is true of a weak acid. The strength of an acid is a specific chemical property of that substance involving how easily a hydrogen ion (H+) will break away from the molecule while concentration is the amount of the substance dissolved in a given volume of water.
Why is heat of neutralization of a strog acid and strong base always constant?
It is due to the same n-factor of both acid and base !! For example HCl and NaOH has n-factor 1.
Why alcohol act as acid or base in some different reactions?
Ethanol (C2H5OH) can, partially and VERY WEAKLY, either accept or donate protons: from a strong acid and to a strong base respectively in the same way water does, this is called ampholytic behaviour.
Are all dilute basic solutions are weak bases.?
No, in the same way a dilute acid can be classed as a strong acid. Even very dilute sodium hydroxide is still classed as a strong base.

No, in the same way a dilute acid can be classed as a strong acid. Even very dilute sodium hydroxide is still classed as a strong base.
Is KCLO3 a strong or weak electrolyte?
Neither, HClO3 is chloric acid. It is a strong acid. An electrolyte constitutes a strong base and a strong acid reacting in a neutralization equation. Like so... NaOH + HCl >>> NaCl + H2O A neutralization reaction prodces a salt (electrolyte) and water from an acid and a base coming together. However, a salt can be acidic, basic, or neutral -strong base with a strong acid=neutral -strong base with a weak acid= basic -weak base with a strong acid= acidic -weak base with a weak acid = neutral stronger dominates the weaker think of it like this. two people fight, if I pit a strong guy and a puny weakling the strong guy should win. However, if I pit a weakling with a weakling; the fight theoretically is never going to get anywhere. They will NEUTRALIZE each other. Same with a strong to strong. Other examples of electrolytes would be NaCN, KCl, NH4Br, etc.
Why is sodium hydroxide a base?
Because the conjugate acid of a strong base is a much weaker acid than water. Since the conjugate acid is so weak, its chemical action as an acid is negligible in solution. Strong bases have very weak conjugate acids. Weak bases have relatively strong conjugate acids. The same is true for the conjugate bases of strong acids, such as HCl. Cl- is a much weaker base than than water, so its effects are also negligible.
Is Chlorine strong or weak?
Chlorine is a strong electrolyte - it always completely dissociates in water. HCl (hydrochloric acid) is a strong acid as well, for the same reason.
