define acid and classify acids based on the following
a)Basicity
b)Ionisation
c)concentration
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:Acid, any substance that in water solution tastes sour, changes the colour of certain indicators (e.g., reddens blue litmus paper), reacts with some metals (e.g., iron) to liberate hydrogen, reacts with bases to form salts, and promotes certain chemical reactions.
a) The basicity of an acid is the number of hydrogen ions, which can be produced by one molecule of the acid.
b)Ionization of Acids. The degree of Ionisation refers to the strength of an acid or a base. A strong acid is said to completely ionize in water whereas a weak acid is said to only ionise partially. ... Equilibrium Constant for ionisation of an acid defines its Acid Ionisation Constant (Ka)
c)The concentration of an acid is a measure of the amount of available acid ions dissolved in a solvent. Concentration can be measured in moles, parts per million or percentage. The concentration is a ratio of the solute to solvent content of a solution.
