I am not entirely sure what you asking here. If this inadequate, say the word, and someone will give it another go..........
Explanation:
In aqueous solution, i.e. in water, we conceive that the solvent water undergoes the following equilibrium:
We can very precisely measure the extent of this equilibrium by conductivity experiments, and we find that, under standard conditions, that this acid-base reaction, this autoprotolysis may be quantified according to:
Any species added to solution that raises
The strength of an acid is determined by the extent its equilibrium lies to the right in the given equation:
For strong acids, such as
For weaker acids, such as
Here's what I get.
Explanation:
Weak acid dissociation
A weak acid is an acid that does not dissociate completely in water.
Most of the molecules remain undissociated.
Consider an aqueous solution of a weak acid
Every time a molecule of
Thus,
Strong acid dissociation
A strong acid is an acid that dissociates completely in water.
Consider an aqueous solution of a strong acid
Every time a molecule of
However, almost every molecule of
If we have 1 mol of
Thus, the concentration of
