• The strength of an acid is determined by the extent to which it ionizes, its percent ionization, not the concentration of the acid, the concentration of its hydronium ions, or its ability to react with a metal

Strong Acid
• An acid that nearly completely dissociates
• All molecules of the acid break up to form the ions soluble in water
• If more than one proton is being removed, not all steps need to be complete dissociation.

Weak Acid
• An acid that only slightly dissociates in a water solution
• Only a small percent of acid molecules donate their hydrogen, and most remain the same.
• Example: CH3COOH

• A strong acid essentially ionizes 100%.
An example of a strong acid is hydrochloric acid, HCl (aq)

Strong Base
• A base that dissociates almost completely into its ions.
• All oxides and hydroxides of group 1 and 2 are strong bases.
• Ex: NaOH

Weak Base
• Most bases are weak• They dissociate only
slightly in a water solution
• Example: NH3
![Page 9: Strong and Weak Acids. The strength of an acid is determined by the extent to which it ionizes, its percent ionization, not the concentration of the acid,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e705503460f94b6de50/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Strong acids are strong electrolytes and weak acids are weak electrolytes

• A strong base dissociates 100%.
An example of a strong base is sodium hydroxide, NaOH.

An example of a weak base is NH3(g).

In water,• H+ is transferred from one H2O molecule to another. • one water molecule acts as an acid, while another
acts as a base.

Pure Water is Neutral
In pure water, • the ionization of water
molecules produces small, but equal quantities of H3O+ and OH−
ions.• molar concentrations are
indicated in brackets as [H3O+] and [OH−].
[H3O+] = 1.0 x 10−7 M

Acidic Solutions
Adding an acid to pure water • increases the [H3O+].
• cause the [H3O+] to exceed 1.0 x 10-7 M.
• decreases the [OH−].

The ion product constant, Kw, for water
• is the product of the concentrations of the hydronium and hydroxide ions.Kw = [ H3O+] [ OH− ]
• can be obtained from the concentrations in pure water.Kw = [ H3O+] [ OH− ]
Kw = [1.0 x 10− 7 M] x [ 1.0 x 10− 7 M]
= 1.0 x 10− 14

[H3O+] and [OH−] in Solutions
In neutral, acidic, or basic solutions, the Kw is always 1.0 x 10−14.

Guide to Calculating [H3O+]

Calculating [H3O+]
What is the [H3O+] of a solution if [OH−] is 5.0 x 10-8 M?
STEP 1: Write the Kw for water.
Kw = [H3O+ ][OH− ] = 1.0 x 10−14
STEP 2: Rearrange the Kw expression.
[H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-14
[OH−]
STEP 3: Substitute [OH−]. [H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-14 = 2.0 x 10-7 M
5.0 x 10- 8
