Acids are those which transfer -H⁺ ion
Bases are those which transfer -OH⁻ ion
Explanation:
- Higher the dissociation constant stronger will be the acid and base.
- Strong acid and strong base form strong electrolytes.
The Nature of the electrolytes will be as
- Strong acid +strong base- Neutral
- Strong acid +weak base - Slightly acidic
- Weak acid +strong base - Slightly basic
- Weak acid +Weak base - Slightly acidic,Slightly basic,neutral
The Strength of acid and base is determined on the basis of ions it is generating and the pH.
Acid and bases are purely measured on the basis of pH scale.
