If you are just asking about the range of acids, then that is from 6 to 0. Below is a list of the pH levels for a few substances. Although strong acids are usually considered the most corrosive, this is not always true. Weak acid refers to an acid that does not dissociate completely in water, while a strong acid does. The carborane superacid is 1 million times stronger than sulfuric acid, yet it is non-corrosive.

Pure water: usually 7, may vary slightly. (neutral)

Blood: 7.4 (Slightly basic)

Seawater: 8 (basic)

Baking soda: 8.2 (basic)

Egg yolks: 5.6 (Slightly acidic)

Beer: 4.3 (acidic)

Battery acid: Slightly below 0 (very acidic)

How do you tell if an acid is strong or weak?

It is a matter of memorization. There are only 6 common strong acids, some sources list 7 or 8. All other acids can be considered weak. The six commonly listed strong acids are: Hydrochloric acid: HCl Hydrobromic acid: HBr Hydroiodic acid: HI Perchloric acid: HClO4 Nitric acid: HNO3 Sulfuric acid: H2SO4 Two acids sometimes cited as strong acids are: Periodic acid: HIO4 Chloric acid: HClO3


What is the difference between a weak and strong acid involves the acids ability to do what?

The difference between a weak and strong acid lies in their ability to ionize/dissociate in water. Strong acids fully ionize in water, releasing a high concentration of H+ ions, while weak acids only partially ionize, releasing a lower concentration of H+ ions. This difference is reflected in their pH values and reactivity.


What are the differences in properties and behavior between a weak acid and a strong acid?

Weak acids and strong acids differ in their properties and behavior. Weak acids partially dissociate in water, while strong acids fully dissociate. This means weak acids have lower conductivity and pH compared to strong acids. Additionally, weak acids have higher equilibrium constants and are less reactive than strong acids.


Are organic acid weak or strong?

Organic acids are generally weak acids. They do not fully dissociate in water, resulting in a reversible reaction that generates both the acid and its conjugate base. This characteristic distinguishes them from strong acids that completely dissociate in water.


Do strong acids have more or fewer ions than weak acids?

Strong acids have more ions in solution than weak acids because they completely dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, while weak acids only partially dissociate. This results in a higher concentration of ions for strong acids.

If a substance has a pH of 6 is it a strong or werak acid?

Strong acids have pH values below 3 , so it is a weak acid.

What is the difference a weak and a strong acid involves the acid ability to do what?

The acids ability to disassociate completely in solution. Strong acids do and weak acids do not.


Is washing up liquid a weak or strong alkali?

it is weak and strong because it neutralises acids. So its strong not weak but weak not strong.

When weak acids react with strong acids?

When weak acids react with strong acids, the strong acid will donate a proton to the weak acid, resulting in the weak acid being protonated. This protonation increases the concentration of the weak acid cation. The conjugate base of the weak acid is formed as a result.
