Diprotic acid
Releases to hydronium ion is per molecule of acid
Strong acid
A substance that ionise completely in water To form a high concentration of H30 plus
Strong base
Disassociates completely in water to form a high concentration of 0H minus ions
Concentrated acid and bases
An acid that contains a large amount of acid/base in proportion to the volume of water
Dilute acids and bases
An acid or base that contains a small amount of acid or base in proportion to the volume of water
