What determines the strength of an acid?
The pH scale
Which ion determines the strength of an acid?
The Hydronium Ion - or H3O+
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.
What happens when you put acid into a solution?
Putting an acid in water will result in dissociation. For example, when hydrochloric acid is put in water, HCl becomes H+ (hydronium ions) and Cl- (chloride ions). The degree to which the acid dissociates determines it's strength.
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.

What determines the safeness of a acid?
The pH value determines the safeness of acid and how effective it is.

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.
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.
Which property determines how well a solid resists breaking?
Tensile strength
What does the strength if an acid depend upon?
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.
What determines the strength of a hurricane?
wind speed
What determines the strength of a gravitional pull?
the density of the object that gravity is working upon determines it.
Why is the concentration of an acid different from the strength of an acid?
