1.	Identify the following strong,moderate ,weak acids and basea.4.5b.7c.5.7d.12.6e.10.4
Answer» An\xa0acid\xa0gets its characteristics from the hydrogen atoms of its molecules. Strong\xa0acids\xa0have weakly bound hydrogen atoms, and the molecules easily separate from them in solution. How many of these hydrogen atoms dissociate and form hydrogen ions determines the\xa0strength of an acid.\xa0Weak acids\xa0exist mostly as molecules with only a few ions in solution, therefore the bonds holding H and A together must be\xa0strong.\xa0Weak acids\xa0do not readily break apart as ions but remain bonded together as molecules.
