Distinguish between strong acids and weak acids. Give two examples each. |
|
Answer» Strong acids: The acids which undergo complete ionisation when dissolved in water and furnish large concentration of `H^(+)` ions are called strong acids. Examples: Strong acids `HC1 rarr H^(+) + C1^(-)` `H_(2)SO_(4) rarr 2H^(+) + SO_(4)^(-2)` Weak acids: The acids which ionise partially and furnish less concentration of `H^(+)` ions are called weak acids. All organic acids are weak acids. Examples: Weak acids `CH_(3)COOH rarr CH_(3)COO^(-) + H^(+)" "H_(2)CO_(3) rarr 2H^(+) + CO_(3)^(-2)` |
