प्रश्न
What do you understand by the strength of an acid? On what factors does the strength of an acid depend?
उत्तर
Strength of an acid measures the ease with which the acid can ionize to produce hydrogen or hydronium ions when dissolved in water. Those acids which can easily ionize to form hydrogen ions are called strong acids while those which can partially ionize to form hydrogen ions are called weak acids.
Strength of an acid depends upon many factors such as:
- Molecular structure of the acid
- The temperature
- Properties of the solvent
