What is the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid?
Strong acids completely dissociate in water, weak acids partially dissociate
Strong acids have a lower pH than weak acids
Strong acids are more corrosive than weak acids
Strong acids are always concentrated, weak acids are dilute
Answer and Solution
