Determine [H30+] in each acid solution. If the acid is weak, indicate the value that [H30+] is less than.
(a) 1.7 M HBr
(b) 1.5 M HNO3
(c) 0.38 M H2CO3
(d) 1.75 M HCHO2
Solution 55P :
Step 1:
Here, we are asked to determine [H3O+] in each acid solution and if the acid is weak, we indicate the value that [H3O+] is less than(<).
Strong acids are those that completely dissociates and release all of their hydrogen ions , i.e they completely ionizes in a solution or when dissolved in water
Weak acids are those that partially release their hydrogen ions. i.e they partially ionizes in solution or when dissolved in water.
