Question 10 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

Which of these refers to the strength of an acid?

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

Explanation

Acid strength describes how readily an acid ionizes in water, which is an intrinsic property of that acid. It is different from concentration, which measures how much acid is dissolved in a given volume; that is why choice A is not correct. The correct choice is “an intrinsic characteristic of a particular acid, not related to concentration.”
