Concept Introduction:
The Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory was purposed by Bronsted and Lowery is called Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory. It states that acid can give
A strong acid shows complete dissociation to respective anion and
The strength of acid can be determined with the help of acid dissociation constant also. For acid HA the acid dissociation constant in its aqueous solution can be written as:
