Strengths of Acids and Bases
Strength
• Acids and Bases are classified
according to the degree to which
they ionize in water:
–Strong are completely ionized in
aqueous solution; this means they
ionize 100 %
–Weak ionize only slightly in
aqueous solution
• Strength is different from
concentration
Strength
• Strong – means it forms many
ions when dissolved (100 %
ionization)
• Mg(OH)2 is a strong base- it falls
completely apart when
dissolved.
–But, not much dissolves- so it
is not concentrated
Strong Acid Dissociation
Weak Acid Dissociation
Measuring strength
• Ionization is reversible.
• HA ↔ H+
+ A-
• This makes an equilibrium
• Acid dissociation constant = Ka
• Ka = [H+
][A-
] (water is constant)
[HA]
• Stronger acid = more products (ions),
thus a larger Ka (Table 20.8, page 602)
What about bases?
• Strong bases dissociate completely.
• MOH ↔ M+
+ OH-
(M = a metal)
• Base dissociation constant = Kb
• Kb = [M+
][OH-
]
[MOH]
• Stronger base = more dissociated
ions are produced, thus a larger Kb.
Strength vs. Concentration
• The words concentrated and dilute tell
how much of an acid or base is
dissolved in solution - refers to the
number of moles of acid or base in a
given volume
• The words strong and weak refer to
the extent of ionization of an acid or
base
• Is a concentrated weak acid possible?
Practice
• Write the expression for HNO2
• Write the Kb for NH3 (as NH4OH)
