Is a property of acids?
it will turn blue litmus paper redAll acids dissociate fully or partially, into ions and give protons in the aqueous medium.
What is the difference between a strong acid or base and a weak acid or base?
Strong acids/bases will dissociate to almost 100% in water and their conjugate base/acid will be weak. Weak acid/base will not dissociate well in water and their conjugate base/acid will be strong.
What is electrolytic method?
Weak electrolytic solutions are solutions that do not conduct electricity very well. Weak bases, weak acids and molecular compounds are examples of weak electrolytic solutions. The two examples of these acids include HF and NH3. An example of one of these bases is Ch3COOH.
What Electrical conductivity in acids and bases?
No. Pure water does not conduct electricity, but when something is put into water and dissociates (breaks apart), then electricity can travel across those ions. But this has nothing to do with pH.
What can acids and bases do alone or together?
bases neutralise the acids
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.
Are strong bases sparingly soluble?
No, strong acids and bases are very soluble (will dissociate completely).
What do most bases do in solution considering that most acids ionize in solution?
dissociate
Why is a concentrated acid not strong?
strong acids and bases dissociate completely; weak acids and bases dissociate only partially. In contrast, the term dilute and concentrated are used to indicate the consentration of a solution, which is the amount of acid or base dissolved in the solution. It is possible to have dilute solutions of strong acids and bases and concentrated solutions of weak acids and bases.
Why do strong acid and bases conduct electricity better than weak acids and bases?
Strong acids and bases dissociate into their conjuagate forms more readily then weak varients. To conduct electricity they must dissociate into these forms due to the formal charges associated allowing them to conduct electricity HCL -> H+ + CL- CH3COOH -> CH3OO- + H+ Equilibrium constant for the first is a lot higher then the second showing that stronger acids fully dissociate. Hope this helps
What is the relationship of a strong acid and a strong base?
Strong acids dissociate almost completely making H+ ions while strong bases also dissociate completely making OH-
How do strong and weak bases dissociate or ionize?
Strong bases dissociate or ionize completely. Weak bases dissociate or ionize only partially. The degree to which they ionize/dissociate is given by the Kb for each weak base.
Both strong acids and strong bases are highly corrosive?
They both dissociate virtually 100% in water.
What type of compounds can be electrolysed?
Any compound which can disassociate into ions in solution is an electrolyte. These are most commonly water soluble salts, acids, and bases.
How are they different in terms of pH level taste and how it dissolves in water?
acids are low pH and taste sour. bases are high in pH and taste bitter. both dissolve in water, some completely dissociating, while some do not. strong acids completely dissociate into ions, like sulphuric acid. acetic acid does not dissociate in water, and so is a weak acid. bases can be this way also.
Do all acids and bases disassociate completely in water?
Firstly, it is a fact that dissociation and dissolving are two different chemical properties. An acid or base which dissolves well in water may not dissociate into ions perfectly, acetic acid and ammonia are the most frequent examples. On the other hand, there are acids and bases which dissociate well but not perfectly dissolving. Oxalic acid and barium hydroxide can be given as examples in this instance.
How are acids and basis classified as strong or weak?
According to their dissociation.Strong acids dissociate completely,weak acids partially.
