Concept Introduction:
Acids and bases can each be categorized as strong or weak, depending on how much they ionize or dissociate in their aqueous solution.
The complete ionization of strong acids occurs in solution and their ionization is shown by a single arrow pointing to the right in the reaction equation.
The ionization of weak acids does not occur completely and their ionization is shown by two opposing arrows pointing to the right as well as left side in the reaction equation.
The concentration of a species is also written as the species formula enclosed in a square bracket.

- Common Acids and Bases Use the data in Table 18.8 to answer the following questions. Which substance is the most basic? Which substance is closest to neutral? Which has a concentration of H+=4.01010M ? Which has a pOH of 11.0? How many times more basic is antacid than blood?arrow_forwardIonization of the first proton from H2SO4 is complete (H2SO4 is a strong acid); the acid-ionization constant for the second proton is 1.1 102. a What would be the approximate hydronium-ion concentration in 0.100 M H2SO4 if ionization of the second proton were ignored? b The ionization of the second proton must be considered for a more exact answer, however. Calculate the hydronium-ion concentration in 0.100 M H2SO4, accounting for the ionization of both protons.arrow_forwardAre solutions of the following salts acidic, basic, or neutral? For those that are not neutral, write balanced chemical equations for the reactions causing the solution to be acidic or basic. The relevant Ka and Kb values are found in Tables 13-2 and 13-3. a. NaNO3 b. NaNO2 c. C5H5NHClO4 d. NH4NO2 e. KOCl f. NH4OClarrow_forward
