Question
What is the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid?Question 5Select one:a.A strong acid releases both H33O++ and OH−− ions. A weak acid only releases H33O++ ions in solution.b.A strong acid releases H33O++ ions. A weak acid releases OH−− ions.c.A strong acid releases all of its H33O++ ions. A weak acid only releases some of its H33O++ ions in solution.d.A strong acid only releases some of its H33O++ ions. A weak acid releases all of its H33O++ ions in solution.
Solution
The correct answer is c. A strong acid releases all of its H3O+ ions. A weak acid only releases some of its H3O+ ions in solution.
Strong acids are completely ionized in solution, meaning they release all of their H3O+ ions. This makes them very reactive and they have a high concentration of H3O+ ions.
On the other hand, weak acids do not completely ionize in solution, meaning they only release some of their H3O+ ions. This makes them less reactive compared to strong acids and they have a lower concentration of H3O+ ions.
