# 7.2 Acid-Base Equilibria in water **Acids and Bases as Electrolytes** - Acids and Bases are electrolytes, meaning they form ions in solution. **Strong Electrolytes (Strong Acids or Bases)** - These substances ionize completely in solution. - **Examples:** - HCl - HNO₃ - NaOH - KOH - NaCl - **Example Reaction:** HCl → H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) **Weak Electrolytes** - These substances ionize partially in solution (mostly in non-ionic form). - **Examples:** - HCOOH - CH₃COOH - NH₃ - **Example Reaction:** NH₃ + H₂O ⇌ NH₄+(aq) + OH-(aq)
