1.	What are strong and weak acids ? In the following list of acids, separate strong acids from weak acids : Hydrochloric acid, citric acid, acetic acid, nitric acid,formic acid , sulphuric acid.
Answer» SOLUTION :In AQUEOUS solutions ,strong acids ionise completely and PROVIDE hydronium ions . On the other hand , WEAK acids are partially ionised and an aqueous solution of same molar concentration provides a much SMALLER concentration of `H_(3)O^(+)` ions. Strong acids - Hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid , nitric acid. Weak acids - Citric acid , acetic acid, formic acid.
