1.	Define the following. Give one example for each. a) Strong acid b) Strong base c) Weak acid d) Weak base.
Answer» a) Strong acid : The acid which undergoes 100% ionisation is called strong acid. e.g.: HCl, H₂SO₄ b) Strong base : The base which undergoes 100% ionisation is called strong base. e.g.: NaOH, KOH c) Weak acid: The acid which undergoes less than 100% ionisation is called weak acid. e.g.: CH₃COOH, H₂CO₃ d) Weak base: The base which undergoes less than 100% ionisation is called weak base. e.g.: NH₄OH, Mg(OH)₂

Define the following. Give one example for each. a) Strong acid b) Strong base c) Weak acid d) Weak base.

Answer»

a) Strong acid : The acid which undergoes 100% ionisation is called strong acid.

e.g.: HCl, H₂SO₄

b) Strong base : The base which undergoes 100% ionisation is called strong base.

e.g.: NaOH, KOH

c) Weak acid: The acid which undergoes less than 100% ionisation is called weak acid.

e.g.: CH₃COOH, H₂CO₃

d) Weak base: The base which undergoes less than 100% ionisation is called weak base.

e.g.: NH₄OH, Mg(OH)₂
