Concentration Versus Strength (HSC SSCE Chemistry): Flashcards

Amount of solute in a specified volume of solution

Degree to which they ionise/dissociate in solution

Acids where almost all molecules ionise

Acids where only some molecules ionise

$\rightleftharpoons$ (equilibrium arrow)

Strong acid has lower pH

$\text{HCl}$, $\text{HNO}_3$, $\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$

$\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}$, $\text{HF}$, citric acid

Acids that donate one proton per molecule

Acids that donate two protons per molecule
