Re: strong vs weak acid pH level
Strong acids fully dissociate which means that the concentration of H3O+ will be high. Weak acids do not fully dissociate so they have smaller concentration of H3O+. Therefore, strong acids have lower pH levels than weak acids.

Re: Solution Volume
You should start out the problem by finding the Molarity of the solution by using the given 2.111g of the solid and 250 ml of water. Find the molar mass of the sodium carbonate. Then divide the 2.111g of the solid by its molar mass in order to calculate for the moles of the solid. By doing this you ...
