What does a strong acid mean?

Answer 1

Usually an acid with a pH of about 1 or 2. Some examples are hydrochloric acid (HCl), nitric acid (HNO3) & sulfuric acid (H2SO4).

More specifically a strong acid is a substance that when dissolved in water, completely dissociates into ions with the positive ion being hydrogen (H+). This usually does yield a very low pH unless the acid itself is in a very low concentration.

Answer 2

A strong acid is one that completely dissociates into ions in solution, resulting in high concentrations of H+ ions. Strong acids have low pH values and react quickly with other substances. Examples include hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4).

Answer 3

Strong Acid is one in which the acid completely dissolves in water.

Such acids are , hydrochloric acid , sulphuric acid.

Chemically the eq;n is shown as HA => H^(+ ) + A^(-)

A Weak Acid is one in which only some of the hydrogen ions dissociate from their parent anion.

Such acids are ; Ethanoic(Acetic) Acid, Methanoic(Formic) Acid.

Chemiclly it is shown as HA H^(+) + A^(-) [ + a lot of undissociated HA]/

Answer 4

It means it has completely diassociated ions, weak acids partially diassociated ions

Answer 5

It gives up an ion (H+) very easily to a base. A strong base will accept that ion very easily.

Answer 6

It dissociates completely into ions
