Differentiate between strong and weak acids. Identify the strong and weak acids from the following list of acids:
Hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, formic acid, nitric acid.
The difference between Strong and Weak acids are given below:
Strong Acid | Weak Acid |
Acids that ionize completely in an aqueous solution are called Strong Acid. | Acids that ionize partially in an aqueous solution are called Weak Acid.
