Question 16 (1 point) What is the main explanation for the difference in pH between strong and weak acids
a. Weak acids are weak electrolytes because they do not dissociate b. Strong acids have more hydrogen ions because they dissociate completely c. Strong acids are non-electrolytes because they dissociate compeltely d. Weak acids have more hydrogen ions because they dissociate completely
The answer is B. This is because a strong and weak acid are determined by the extent to which they dissociate and so the production of H+ ions. The higher the concentration of H+ ions the lower the pH or the stronger the acid.
