Question 45

Differentiate the following. Acid strength and concentration


Correct Answer: 0

Solution

PLACEHOLDER ANSWER - the answer is a comparison. Acid strength is the extent to which an acid ionises in water, measured by its dissociation constant $$K_a$$; it is a property of the acid itself (HCl is strong, acetic acid weak). Concentration is the amount of acid dissolved per litre of solution and can be changed by adding water. So a dilute solution of a strong acid and a concentrated solution of a weak acid are both possible.
