Question

Describe the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid?

Answer 1

A strong acid dissociates completely when you put it in water. So for example, if you put a certain amount of HCl in water, all of it will dissociate into H+ and Cl-A weak acid doesn't undergo full dissociation. So if you put a certain amount of something like CH3COOH (acetic acid) in water, only some of the acetic acid will dissociate into H+ and CH3COO-

Answer 2

Strong acids have a higher PH while weaker acids have a lower PH

I'm other words, acidic bases have a higher PH whilst less acidic bases have lower PH
