Strong Acids and Bases [ENDORSED]

[Rakhi Ratanjee 1D]

Do strong acids and bases always dissociate 100%? Are there any cases in which they won't dissociate completely?

[Ozhen Atoyan 1F]

From what we have learned in class strong acids and bases are supposed to completely ionize. In the scenario where they do not dissociate completely they are automatically considered a weak acid or base.

So if you are just given the grams of a strong acid and the volume of the solution, how would you calculate the pH of the solution??

[Chem_Mod]

Convert the grams to moles.
Then divide moles by volume to obtain the acid concentration.

Strong acids are completely dissociated, therefore: acid concentration = [H₃O⁺]
