Back (Answer)

#12
Front (Question)

What are the equations to calculate pH and [H+] of STRONG ACIDS

Back (Answer)

A strong acid is an acid that dissociates completely in a solution. For monobasic, times conc by 1 For dibasic, times conc by 2 For tribasic, times conc by 3 HA —–> H+ + A- For a strong acid, [HA] = [H+] , because it completely dissociates.
