What is stronger acid or alkali?

Answer 1

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! :)) ('.')

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

Acids are generally considered to be stronger than alkalis because acids have a lower pH value (below 7) compared to alkalis (above 7). Acids donate protons (H+) in a solution, making them more corrosive and capable of breaking down substances. Alkalis, on the other hand, accept protons and are more likely to neutralize acids.

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

Strong alkali neutralizes acid easily but weak acid can't.
