Study Notes
Strong Acids
- HCl (Hydrochloric acid) is classified as a strong acid.
- HBr (Hydrobromic acid) is recognized as a strong acid.
- HI (Hydriodic acid) is another example of a strong acid.
- H2SO4 (Sulfuric acid) is also a strong acid.
- HClO4 (Perchloric acid) is considered a strong acid.
- HClO3 (Chloric acid) falls into the category of strong acids.
Weak Acids
- HF (Hydrofluoric acid) is categorized as a weak acid.
- HC2H3O2 (Acetic acid) is a well-known weak acid.
- H3PO4 (Phosphoric acid) is classified as a weak acid.
- H2CO3 (Carbonic acid) is also a weak acid.
- HCN (Hydrogen cyanide) is a weak acid.
- HClO2 (Chlorous acid) is considered a weak acid.
- HClO (Hypochlorous acid) is classified as a weak acid.
Reaction Characteristics
- Strong acids fully dissociate in reactions, proceeding to completion.
- Weak acids partially dissociate, establishing an equilibrium in reactions.
Strong Bases
- LiOH (Lithium hydroxide) is categorized as a strong base.
- NaOH (Sodium hydroxide) is recognized as a strong base.
- KOH (Potassium hydroxide) is classified as a strong base.
- HNO3 (Nitric acid) is another strong acid, complementing strong basics.
- PbOH (Lead hydroxide) is categorized as a strong base.
- Mg(OH)2 (Magnesium hydroxide) is recognized as a strong base.
- Ca(OH)2 (Calcium hydroxide) is also classified as a strong base.
Identifying Strong and Weak Acids/Bases
- Strong acids typically have at least two more oxygen atoms than hydrogen atoms.
- Weak bases often contain nitrogen or carbon in their structure.
- NH3 (Ammonia) is identified as a weak base.
- CH3NH2 (Methylamine) is recognized as a weak base.
- CH3Cl2NH3 (a derivative of ammonia) is also categorized as a weak base.
