Strong Acid Formula

A chemical compound that dissociates completely in water, releasing hydrogen ions (H+)

Acid Definition

A substance releasing Hydrogen ions (H⁺) when dissolved in water; a proton donor

Base Definition

A substance releasing hydroxide ions (OH⁻) when dissolved in water; a proton acceptor

Study Notes

Strong Acids

  • HCL: Hydrochloric acid
  • HNO₃: Nitric acid
  • H₂SO₄: Sulphuric acid
  • H₃PO₄: Phosphoric acid
  • HF: Hydrofluoric acid

Weak Acids

  • CH₃COOH: Ethanoic acid
  • H₂CO₃: Carbonic acid

Calculating Mass

  • m = mass
  • M = molar mass
  • n = number of moles
  • Avogadro's number: 6.02 x 10²³ molecules/mole

pH Scale

  • Universal Indicator: Red -> Acid, Green -> Neutral, Blue -> Base
  • Litmus Paper: Red -> Acid, Blue -> Base
  • PPT/Phenolphthalein: Colorless -> Acid, Pink -> Base

Acids

  • An acid is a proton donor
  • Releases H⁺ ions in water

Bases
