Study Notes

Strong Acids

  • HClO₄ (Perchloric Acid) is categorized as a strong acid, known for complete ionization in water.
  • Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄) acts as a strong acid, widely used in various industrial applications and capable of releasing two protons.
  • Hydrobromic Acid (HBr) is recognized as a strong acid, commonly utilized in organic chemistry for bromination reactions.
  • Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) is another strong acid, important in both laboratory and manufacturing settings for its reactivity.
  • HNO₃ (Nitric Acid) is a strong acid, significant in fertilizer production and the manufacture of explosives.
  • Any acid not classified as one of the six strong acids is considered a weak acid and functions as a weak electrolyte.

Strong Bases

  • Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) is a strong base, frequently used in soap making and as an industrial chemical.
  • Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), also known as lye, is a strong base essential in food processing and chemical manufacturing.
  • Barium Hydroxide (Ba(OH)₂) is classified as a strong base, utilized in various analytical applications.
  • Calcium Hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂), known as builder's lime, is a strong base used in construction and water treatment processes.

Weak Base

  • Ammonia (NH₃) is identified as a weak base, commonly found in household cleaners and as a precursor to nitrogen-containing compounds.
