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
