Want this question answered?
on a PH scale 7 is neutral. So any number close to 7 is considered weak be it a base or an acid.
It represents the tatal fatty acid present in the latex
Here's a small list of common acids. Just because it my be H2 doesnt make it a acid though. Hope this helps a little bit! Hydrochloric Acid=HCl Hydrobromic Acid=HBr Hydriodic Acid=HI Hydrofluoric Acid=HF Nitric Acid=HNO3 Sulfuric Acid=H2SO4 Perchloric Acid=HClO4 Acetic Acid=HC2H3O­2
acid=1-6 nuetral=7 base=8-14 the ph scale goes from 1 to 14
The pH scale goes as follows : |____________|___________| 0 ACIDIC 7 BASIC 14 Below 7 = Acid More than 7 = Base
A number less than a pH of 4 indicates a strong acid.
The pH will depend on the concentration of the acid, not on whether it is strong or weak.

It is a strong organic acid with a pka value of -2.8 very similiar to sulfuric acid at -3.
Salicylic acid is also known as 2-Hydroxybenzoic acid. The literature Ka value is 2x10 to the negative 14th power. Which makes salicylic acid a somewhat strong acid.
Strong acid = 1 pH ( or lower ) Strong base = 14 pH ( or higher ) Neutral solution = 7 pH
A strong acid id PH 1 or 2 and a weak acid is a number between 5 or 6 Not 7 because that is neutral
There are no accurate pKa value of these two, extremely STRONG acids, any value of >> 1000 (up to >> 1.0*10+9) will do.
The difference is between dissociation constants. A high value has the meaning of strong acid.
According to CRC reference data, the pKa of sulfamic acid is 1.05, giving a Ka of 11.2. This is a strong acid.
H2SO3, or sulfurous acid, is weak. A quick way to verify the strength of acids with oxygen in them is to get the number of oxygen atoms (in this case, 3) minus the number of hydrogen atoms (in this case, 2); if the result is lower than 2, the acid is weak.
The pH number will be higher
