Answer
The strength of an acid measures the capacity of ionization (in a solution) an acid has.
Work Step by Step
- With the ionization, the acid is able to donate protons to the solution.
- Stronger acids have a higher capacity of ionizating in water.
- The acids can be divided by 2 categories:
Strong acid: Completely ionizates in a solution.
Weak acid: Doesn't completely ionize in a solution.
