    Study Notes

    Acids and Bases as Electrolytes

    • Acids and bases are electrolytes, meaning they form ions in solution.
    • Strong electrolytes ionize completely in solution.
      • Examples of strong acids include HCl, HNO₃
      • Examples of strong bases include NaOH, KOH
    • Weak electrolytes ionize partially in solution, meaning they mostly exist in a non-ionic form.
      • Examples of weak acids include HCOOH, CH₃COOH
      • Examples of weak bases include NH₃
    • Strong acids dissociate completely to produce H+ ions in solution, while strong bases dissociate completely to produce OH- ions in solution.
    • Weak acids and bases only partially dissociate in solution, resulting in an equilibrium between the ionized and non-ionized forms.
