Ch. 17 - Acids & Bases II. Strength of Acids & Bases(p.474-477) Strong vs. Weak pH
- - + + A. Strong vs. Weak • Strong Acid/Base • 100% ions in water • strong electrolyte • HCl, HNO3, NaOH, LiOH • Weak Acid/Base • few ions in water • weak electrolyte • HC2H3O2, NH3
14 0 7 INCREASING BASICITY INCREASING ACIDITY NEUTRAL B. pH Scale • pH • a measure of the concentration of H3O+ ions in solution • measured with a pH meter or an indicator with a wide color range
B. pH Scale pH of Common Substances
ConcepTest • Which of the following "molecular" pictures best represents a concentrated solution of the weak acid HA? A B
ConcepTest • Is the following statement TRUE or FALSE? • A strong acid has a lower pH than a weak acid. • FALSE - Strong/weak refers to amount of ionization whereas pH refers to concentration of H+.
