It depends on the concentration of Hydroxide ions in the alkali.
The more the hydroxide ions that can be ionized during ionization, the stronger the alkali. A strong acid releases a lot H+ ions in a solution
A weak acid doesn't release as many H+ ions
A weak base doesn't accept that many H+
A strong base accepts a lot of H+ ions
Those are the basic differences between a strong acid or base and a weak
acid or base! :)) ('.')
A strong acid completely dissociates in water to produce hydronium ions (H3O+).
Example with nitric acid: HNO3 + H2O --> H3O+ + NO3-
A strong alkali (or strong base) dissociates completely in water to produce hydroxide ions (OH-).
Example with sodium hydroxide: NaOH --> Na+ + OH-
An acid and a base will react and neutralize each other:
HNO3 + NaOH --> H2O + NaNO3
ionic equation: H3O+ + OH- --> 2H2O
Alkalis are generally ionic. Sodium Hydroxide is probably the strongest. It has a very disassociation constant and produces a very large number of OH ions
Such a comparison cannot be made i.e. acids cannot be said to be generally stronger than alkalis, unless you are asking about a specific acid or alkali.
Strong alkali neutralizes acid easily but weak acid can't.
an alkali is much stronger than an acid because an acid has a PH of 1 and an alkali has a PH of 14.
Hydrochloric Acid would be the stronger acid, as Sodium Hydroxide is an alkali.
Hydrochloric Acid would be the stronger acid, as Sodium Hydroxide is an alkali.
The strength of an acid and alkali is shown using the pH scale which goes from 0 to 14 . pH number of acid is less than 7. and pH number of alkali is greater than 7. that's why the smaller the number the stronger the acid and the larger the number the stronger the alkali. so pH of weak acid is 6 and pH of strong alkali is 14 because if the smaller number shows the stronger acid, the larger number shows the weaker acid. And as larger number shows strong alkali, the pH scale is from 0 to 14; so 14 shows stronger alkali.
No an alkali is the opposite of an acid. Alkali = basic; acid = acidic.

it is complete alkali
it is complete alkali
acid
Well acids are usually stronger but i guess it depends on the acid/alkali. Be careful with theses they are very corrosive and could kill you.
The Lower The pH Scale The stronger the acid ph7 is neutral and the higher the scale past 7 the stronger the alkali is
Both acid and alkali can be corrosive
alkali is used to reduce acid and acid is used to reduce alkali
