Acid rain only corrodes your skin if you are in it for a very long time. It burns because your skin is not used to the extreme chemicals that are within your skin then. It's just a way of reacting from it, and your skin cells are trying to detain it.

What distinguishes a strong acid or base from a weak acid or base?

Strong acids or bases completely dissociate in water to produce ions, causing a high concentration of ions in solution. Weak acids or bases only partially dissociate in water, resulting in a lower concentration of ions in solution. Strong acids and bases typically have higher dissociation constants and stronger interactions with water molecules than weak acids and bases.


What is a Chemical compounds that converts strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases?

A chemical compound that converts strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases is called a buffer. Buffers help to stabilize the pH of a solution by absorbing excess hydrogen or hydroxide ions, thereby minimizing changes in pH when strong acids or bases are added.


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!


What information can be found in the weak and strong acids and bases chart?

The weak and strong acids and bases chart provides information on the strength of different acids and bases. It indicates which substances are considered weak or strong based on their ability to donate or accept protons. This chart helps in understanding the reactivity and properties of various acids and bases.


Can acid burn through clothes?

It depends on how strong the acid is. But acids that are very strong-- yes, they can burn through clothes.

What kind of burn that doesn't come from fire?

A chemical burn. Strong acids and strong bases both cause chemical burns.


What do acid and bases have in common?

they both conduct electricity


Can every strong electrolyte be considered a strong acid?

No, not all strong electrolytes are strong acids. Strong electrolytes include strong acids, strong bases, and soluble salts. Strong acids are a subset of strong electrolytes that fully dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, leading to a high concentration of ions in solution.


Why are acids and bases considered strong?

They either have a high concentration of H+ ions (acids) or OH- ions (bases). Strong acids and bases are also highly corrosive relative to weaker more neutral acids/bases.


Will acids and bases both burn skin?

No.

Why could it be dangerous to distinguish between acids and bases buy tasting them?

Because strong acids and bases can burn your mouth! ... and they're probably all going to taste the same in the few milliseconds before you destroy your taste buds.

What are the effects of acids on bases?

Strong acids on strong bases. HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O A neutralization reaction producing a salt and water.


What are weak acids or bases that react with strong acids or bases to prevent sharp or sudden changes?

Buffers.
