Classify each of the following as a strong acid, weak acid, strong base, or weak base in aqueous solution.
Solutions
VerifiedThe 7 strong inorganic acids are:
1.) HI
2.) HBr
3.) HClO
4.) HCl
5.) HClO
6.)
7.) H
The 8 strong bases are:
1.) NaOH
2.) KOH
3.) LiOH
4.) RbOH
5.) CsOH
6.) C
7.)
8.)
Those that are not included in the list are considered weak.
In this task, we will assign each species to strong or weak acids and bases. Acids are compounds that are able to release protons () into the solution, thus increasing the concentration of oxonium ions. On the other hand, bases dissociate to give hydroxide ions.
Weak acids and bases dissociate only up to a certain extent determined by their equilibrium constants. In contrast, strong acids and bases dissociate completely in dilute aqueous solutions.
