Chemistry — Strong vs Weak Acids

Degree of ionisation distinguishes them.

Template previewVenn / Euler
Strong vs weak acidsStrong acids (S)Weak acids (W)Fully ionise in water; high [H+]; low pH; e.g. HCl, H2SO4, HNO3Partially ionise; an equilibrium; higher pH at the same concentration; e.g. ethanoic acidAcids; donate H+ protons; react with bases and carbonates; turn litmus red
