A strong acid completely dissociates in water while weak acids only partially dissociate HCl(aq)+ H2O(l) H3O+(aq)+ Cl-(aq)
This reaction goes to completion a there is no HCl left in solution, proving that HCl is a strong acid
To predict on which side equilibrium will lie, this general rule applies
Strong acids completely dissociate in water Weak acids partially dissociate and establish an equilibrium system When the equilibrium constant is associated with dissociation it is called acid dissociation constant. The greater the amount of dissociation is, the larger the K value is.
pH
Because the concentration of the hydronium ion, H3O+, can vary tremendously in solutions of acids and bases, a scale to easily represent the acidity of a solution was developed. It is called the pH scale and is related to H3O+
pH Continued
A solution whose [H30+]
is greater than in pure water will have a pH less than 7.00 is called acidic. A solution whose [H30+] is less than pure water and has a pH greater than 7.00 is called basic pOH= -log[OH-]

Try a sample problem: CALCULATE the [H+] of a 0.300 M acetic acid solution. Ka =1.8x10-5 HC2H3O2(aq) H+(aq) + C2H3O2- (aq) 0.300-x Ka = [H+][C2H3O2]/[HC2H302 = 1.8X10-5 = (X)(X)/(0.300-X) = 1.8X10-5 X = [H+] = 2.3x10-3 M
