Chemical Equilibrium and pH · Chemical Reactions

Strong and Weak Acids

Distinguishing between degree of dissociation and concentration.

Key Questions

  1. 1Why does a weak acid have a higher pH than a strong acid of the same concentration?
  2. 2How does the acid dissociation constant (Ka) measure acid strength?
  3. 3How do buffer solutions resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid are added?
