Which of these accurately describes why an acid is strong?

A
An acid becomes strong when it is mixed with a base.
B
An acid is strong when it dissociates completely in water.
C
An acid is strong when it undergoes a reverse reaction.
D
An acid’s strength is due to the amount present in a solution.

A
cap k sub A times cap k sub b is less than open bracket cap h sub 3 cap o raised to the plus power close bracket plus open bracket OH raised to the negative power close bracket
B
cap k sub A times cap k sub b is equal to open bracket cap h sub 3 cap o raised to the plus power close bracket times open bracket OH raised to the negative power close bracket
C
cap k sub A times cap k sub b is greater than open bracket cap h sub 3 cap o raised to the plus power close bracket times open bracket OH raised to the negative power close bracket
D
cap k sub A times cap k sub b is equal to the fraction with numerator open paren cap h sub 3 cap o raised to the plus power close paren and denominator open paren OH raised to the negative power close paren

What does it mean for a weak acid to be in equilibrium?

A
At equilibrium there is a small amount of HA and more cap A raised to the negative power and cap h raised to the plus power .
B
At equilibrium there is the same amount of HA , cap A raised to the negative power and cap h raised to the plus power .
C
The acids only slightly dissociate and readily undergo reverse reaction.
D
The position of equilibrium in weak acids lies more to the right than to the left.
8

If hydrofluoric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, which statement is most likely true?

A
The conjugate acid of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid.
B
The conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid.
C
The conjugate acid of hydrofluoric acid is stronger than that of acetic acid.
D
The conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is stronger than that of acetic acid.

A base is added to water. What happens when the position of equilibrium lies to the left?

A
The base is partially dissociating into products.
B
The base is present in very small amounts.
C
The base is not dissociating into any ions.
D
The base is completely dissociating into products.

What does it mean for a strong acid to be in equilibrium?

A
The equilibrium lies far to the right so that products are very heavily favored.
B
The equilibrium lies far to the left so that reactants are heavily favored.
C
At equilibrium the products and the reactants are in equal balance.
D
At equilibrium there are a lot of strong acids and very few ions.
