Key Points: Ionisation of Acids and Bases

  • Acids ionise in water to give H⁺/H₃O⁺ ions; bases give OH⁻ ions.
  • The extent of ionisation depends on the strength + concentration.
  • Strong → almost complete ionisation; weak → partial (equilibrium exists).
  • Represented as: HA ⇌ H⁺ + A⁻
  • The degree of ionisation, α, increases with dilution.
  • Basis of pH and equilibrium calculations.

Classification Based on Extent of Dissociation

Type Examples
Strong acids HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃
Weak acids HF, CH₃COOH, H₂S
Strong bases NaOH, KOH
Weak bases Fe(OH)₃, Cu(OH)₂
