Acids and Bases by Dillon


This week we learned about weak and strong acids. We learned about how to ionize them and what their similarities and differences are. Some similarities are they both have conjugate acids and bases and both use hydrogen. To ionize an weak acid or strong it has to donate a hydrogen atom to the conjugate base.



 


What I find really interesting about acids and bases is the pH of them and how some are really dangerous and some are really safe.  Some examples of a dangerous and a safe acid is vinegar which is used everyday for cooking and hcl which is highly corrosive.
