What is the lowest pH to the highest pH?
Lowest pH, strong acids, then weak acids, then salts of strong acids and strong bases, then salts of weak acids and strong bases, then weak bases, then strong bases. All very confusing!
How do strong and weak bases dissociate or ionize?
Strong bases dissociate or ionize completely. Weak bases dissociate or ionize only partially. The degree to which they ionize/dissociate is given by the Kb for each weak base.
What is the pH difference between a strong base and a weak base on the pH scale?
If you are using the common English definitions of "strong" (meaning 'more') and "weak" (meaning 'less'), then a strong base will have a pH of 12-14 while a weak base will have a pH of 7-9. However, there is a specific scientific definition of 'strong' and 'weak' when used to describe acids and bases. In chemistry, a 'strong base' is a base that completely ionizes in water while a 'weak base' is a base that partially ionizes in water. If you are using these definitions, there is no way to categorically compare the pH of a strong base versus the pH of a weak base - the two variables do not related. Some strong (complete ionization) bases will have a lower pH (7-9) while other strong (complete ionization) bases will have a higher pH (12-14); the same is true of weak (partial ionization) bases.
Weak bases are what in water?
Weak bases are soluble in water where as strong bases like KOH tend to heat up faster . Hence, strong bases are insoluble in water.
Difference between a weak and a strong acid involves the acid's ability to?
ionize
Can bases be strong or weak?
Yes. There are strong bases such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and weak bases such as ammonia (NH3)

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.
Can every strong electrolyte be considered a strong acid?
No. Many strong electrolytes are bases or neutral salts.
What is the difference between a strong and weak mayor?
in the strong-mayor system the mayor has strong executive power, and the weak-mayor system the mayors authority is limited

What is the difference between strong and and weak acids?
A strong acid ionizes partially in water while a weak acid ionizes fully in water.
Can strong and weak acids and strong and weak bases be determined by using an indicator?
yes
Weak bases are what in water?
Weak bases are soluble in water where as strong bases like KOH tend to heat up faster . Hence, strong bases are insoluble in water.
Difference between a weak and a strong acid involves the acid's ability to?
ionize
What is the difference between strong iodine solution and weak iodine solution?
their color
