Is it true that in strong acids most of the molecules break up into ions in the solution?

Yes, that is true. Strong acids ionize, in a aqueous solution. It is the released hydrogen ions that make them 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.


What is generally true about strong bases and strong acids?

Strong bases completely dissociate in water to release hydroxide ions, while strong acids completely dissociate to release H+ ions. Strong bases and strong acids have high conductivity due to the presence of many free ions in solution. They are both highly corrosive and can cause burns on contact with skin.


Are string acids strong electrolytes?

No, most organic acids, including string acids, are weak electrolytes. This means they only partially dissociate into ions in water, resulting in a lower conductivity compared to strong electrolytes like strong acids or salts.


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 strong acids strong electrolyters?

Yes. Strong acids dissociate completely in solution. Hence they are generally strong electrolytes.

Is it true that acids do not react with bases?

No, the reaction of generally strong acids and bases is called a neutralization reaction and generally produces salt and water. NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H2O


Is it true or false that strong acids turn universal indicator paper purple?

False. Universal indicator paper changes color based on the pH of a substance. Strong acids turn universal indicator paper red, orange, or yellow depending on the strength of the acid. Purple is not a color associated with strong acids on universal indicator paper.
