QUESTION:

Strong Acids and Bases (Section)

Determine whether each of the following is true or false:

(a) All strong bases are salts of the hydroxide ion.

(b) The addition of a strong base to water produces a solution of pH > 7.0. (c) Because    is not very soluble, it cannot be a strong base.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

A strong acid is an acid that totally dissociates in water. Molecules of strong acids are broken down into ions, which attach to water molecules.

Strong base is a base that is entirely dissociated in aqueous solution. In water, a strong base totally ionises, the base molecule producing more hydroxide ions.
