Strong Acids Tend To

Question

Strong acids tend to
A) greatly raise the pH
B) greatly lower the pH
C) do not dissociate as much as weak acids
D) both a and b above

Accepted Answer

Strong acids completely dissociate in water, resulting in the release of a large number of hydrogen ions (H+). This high concentration of H+ ions in a solution leads to a decrease in its pH, making it more acidic. Therefore, strong acids tend to greatly lower the pH.
