Given equal concentrations, which of the following produces the fewest hydronium ions in an aqueous solution?
strong acid
weak acid
strong base
weak base
This is the only question i need help on and i have no clue what ut is! any help?
strong base has very few H3O+ ions
SO is the answer d?
Read bobpursley's answer again... very carefully.
It would be c...
Of course! I can help you understand how to answer this question.
To determine which of the given substances produces the fewest hydronium ions in an aqueous solution, we need to consider their acidic or basic properties.
Acids are substances that donate protons (H+) in aqueous solutions. The stronger the acid, the more it will ionize and produce hydronium ions. Weak acids, on the other hand, only partially ionize in water, resulting in fewer hydronium ions.
Bases, on the other hand, accept protons (H+) or donate OH- ions. Similar to acids, the stronger the base, the more it will ionize and produce hydroxide ions (OH-). Weak bases also only partially ionize in water, resulting in fewer hydroxide ions.
Based on this information, we can conclude that the weak acid will produce the fewest hydronium ions in an aqueous solution among the given options.
