, Strength of an acid and base

The strength of an acid or base is an indication of the extent to which it is ionized in solution.


strong acids/bases ionize/dissociate fully in
aqueous solution whilst weak acids/bases ionizerdissociate partially.

The Clions
solution contains a
large number of Host and . Thus there are
very few unionized

.
HCR is a
strong

acid
,
because of the
large number of ions in solution ,
the solution is a
good conductor of electricity and a
good electrolyte


Weak acids/bases: (Double arrows



Weak acid

There are
very few Hz0+ and CHy200 ions
produced ,
hence there is a
large ammount of unionized CHylooH

molecules . Thus ethanoic acid is a weak acid and the solution is a weak electrolyte .
