∙ 13y agoThe more the acid dissociates (i.e all of it breaks up in water to form ions) the higher the strength.

How are acids and basis classified as strong or weak?
According to their dissociation.Strong acids dissociate completely,weak acids partially.
Differentiate between a strong acid and weak acid?
Strong acids dissociate completely in aqueous solution; weak acids do not.
Do weak acids completely dissociate like strong acids but then instantly change to base in water?
Nope. They just don't fully dissociate. The molecules don't break apart completely.
Why carboxylic acids are weak acid?
They are weak acids because they dont fully dissociate. Meaning that only part of the solution of carboxylic acid will split in RCOO- and H+
Do Strong acids dissociate completely when dissolved in water?
No, only strong bases do:weak: B- + H2O HB + OH- (completely right ---> )

What is a difference between a stronge acid and a weak acid?
Strong acids dissociate fully in water to produce the maximum number of H + ions. ... Weak acids, such as ethanoic acid (CH 3COOH), do not fully dissociate.

Nope. They just don't fully dissociate. The molecules don't break apart completely.

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.
Do Strong acids dissociate completely when dissolved in water?
No, only strong bases do:weak: B- + H2O HB + OH- (completely right ---> )
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.
Does all of the acetic acids dissociate after the reaction reaches equilibrium?
No. Acetic acid is a weak acid. It only partially dissociates.
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.
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 strong about a strong acid?
strong acids dissociate completely into ions in water. i.e. HCl dissociates into H+ and Cl- ions. Weak acids only dissociate partially, therefore they are in an equilibrium state where there is some acid remaining and some ions in solution.
