Question

What are the differences between weak and strong acid

Answer 1

1. Strong acids are strong because they give all the H⁺ ions in the solution or increase the H⁺ ion concentration very heavily in the solutions.

Strong acids are the acids which dissociates completely in the solution and provides greater number of protons. For example - sulfuric acid is a strong acid
2. Weak acids are those which although increase the concentration of H⁺ ions in the solution but not very high as they feebly dissociate into the solution.

Weak acids are the acids which dissociates partially in the solution and provides less number of protons. For example - acetic acid is a weak acid
