They either have a high concentration of H+ ions (acids) or OH- ions (bases). Strong acids and bases are also highly corrosive relative to weaker more neutral acids/bases.

Can every strong electrolyte be considered a strong acid?

No, not all strong electrolytes are strong acids. Strong electrolytes include strong acids, strong bases, and soluble salts. Strong acids are a subset of strong electrolytes that fully dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, leading to a high concentration of ions in solution.


What information can be found in the weak and strong acids and bases chart?

The weak and strong acids and bases chart provides information on the strength of different acids and bases. It indicates which substances are considered weak or strong based on their ability to donate or accept protons. This chart helps in understanding the reactivity and properties of various acids and bases.


What is the lowest pH to the highest pH?

Lowest pH, strong acids, then weak acids, then salts of strong acids and strong bases, then salts of weak acids and strong bases, then weak bases, then strong bases. All very confusing!


What is a Chemical compounds that converts strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases?

A chemical compound that converts strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases is called a buffer. Buffers help to stabilize the pH of a solution by absorbing excess hydrogen or hydroxide ions, thereby minimizing changes in pH when strong acids or bases are added.


What are the effects of acids on bases?

Strong acids on strong bases. HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O A neutralization reaction producing a salt and water.


What are weak acids or bases that react with strong acids or bases to prevent sharp or sudden changes?

Buffers.


Do acids dissolve in bases or do bases dissolve in acids?

They don't dissolve (or more properly, dissociate) completely in water, only partially. Acids or bases that dissociate completely are called strong acids or bases.


What disables enzymes?

Heat, presence of strong acids or strong bases


Do strong base has a strong conjugate acid?

No, a strong base does not have a strong conjugate acid. Strong bases typically have weak conjugate acids since the strength of an acid-base pair is inversely related - strong acids have weak conjugate bases, and strong bases have weak conjugate acids.


Are strong acids and bases bitter?

Strong acids and bases are not typically bitter. Strong acids such as hydrochloric acid and strong bases like sodium hydroxide are more known for their sour and caustic taste, respectively. Bitter tastes are commonly associated with some alkaline substances or basic compounds.


Strong acids or bases react more easily with materials than do weak acids and bases?

no they act stronger


How are strong acids and bases defined?

Strong acids and bases are those for which Ka (or Kb) is very much greater than 1 - at least around 103.
