Acids produce hydrogen ions in aqueous solution. Chapter 14 Acids and Bases 14.3 Strengths of Acids and Bases
Strengths of Acids • A strong acid ionizes (100%) in aqueous solutions. HCl(g) + H2O(l) H3O+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) • A weak acid dissociates only slightly in water to form an aqueous solution containing mostly molecules of acid and a few ions. H2CO3(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + HCO3− (aq)
Strong and Weak Acids In solution, • hydrochloric acid, HCl, a strong acid, dissociates 100% • acetic acid, CH3COOH, a weak acid, contains mostly molecules and a few ions
Strong Acids Strong acids • make up six of all the acids • have weak conjugate bases
Weak Acids Weak acids • make up most of the acids • have strong conjugate bases
Bases in household products are used to remove grease and to open drains. Strong Bases Strong bases • are formed from metals of Groups 1A (1) and 2A (2) • include LiOH, NaOH, KOH, and Ba(OH)2 • dissociate 100% in water KOH(s) K+(aq) + OH−(aq)
Weak Bases Weak bases • are poor acceptors of protons • dissociate only slightly in water • produce only a few ions in water • are used in household products such as cleaners NH3(g) + H2O(l) NH4+(aq) + OH−(aq)
