Question

Comparing weak acids and strong acids of equal concentrations which of the following statements is true The pH of the weak acid will be higher than the pH of the strong acid The pH of the strong acid will be higher than the pH of the weak acid The pH of both acids will be equal a. b. c.

Answer 1

Answer:

the true statement is... The pH of the weak acid will be higher than the pH of the strong acid

Explanation:

pH is a measured of the extent to which acids dissociate into ions when plced in aqueous solution.

Strong acid dissociate near-completely, and weak acids barely dissociate.

At equal concentrations, a strong acid will have a lower pH than a weak acid, since the strong one will donate more proton to the solution.
