Ch Acids & Bases II. Strength of Acids & Bases (p ) Strong vs. Weak pH
A. Strong vs. Weak Strong Acid/Base 100% ions in water strong electrolyte HCl, HNO 3, NaOH, LiOH Weak Acid/Base few ions in water weak electrolyte HC 2 H 3 O 2, NH
B. pH Scale 0 7 INCREASING ACIDITY NEUTRAL INCREASING BASICITY 14 pH a measure of the concentration of H 3 O + ions in solution measured with a pH meter or an indicator with a wide color range
B. pH Scale pH of Common Substances
Which of the following "molecular" pictures best represents a concentrated solution of the weak acid HA? ConcepTest AB
Is the following statement TRUE or FALSE? A strong acid has a lower pH than a weak acid. FALSE - Strong/weak refers to amount of ionization whereas pH refers to concentration of H +. ConcepTest
