Question 3 • Chemistry

Which of these refers to the strength of an acid?

Answer
A
the amount of hydrogen ions present in the acid
B
the amount of hydroxide ions present in a solution
C
an intrinsic characteristic of a particular acid, not related to concentration
D
a measure of the quantity of acid dissolved in water designated by molarity

Explanation

Acid strength describes how readily an acid ionizes in water, which is an intrinsic property of that acid. It is not the same as concentration, which measures how much acid is dissolved in a given volume. Therefore, the correct choice is “an intrinsic characteristic of a particular acid, not related to concentration.”
