  • What are the 3 haloacids classified as strong acids?

    HCl (Hydrochloric acid), HBr (Hydrobromic acid), and HI (Hydroiodic acid).

  • Name the 4 oxyacids that are strong acids.

    HNO\(_3\) (Nitric acid), H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) (Sulfuric acid), HClO\(_3\) (Chloric acid), and HClO\(_4\) (Perchloric acid).

  • List the 5 Group 1A hydroxides that are strong bases.

    LiOH (Lithium hydroxide), NaOH (Sodium hydroxide), KOH (Potassium hydroxide), RbOH (Rubidium hydroxide), and CsOH (Cesium hydroxide).

  • Which Group 2A hydroxides are considered strong bases?

    Ca(OH)\(_2\) (Calcium hydroxide), Sr(OH)\(_2\) (Strontium hydroxide), and Ba(OH)\(_2\) (Barium hydroxide).

  • What defines a strong acid in terms of dissociation?

    A strong acid completely dissociates in aqueous solution, releasing all its protons.

  • What defines a strong base in terms of dissociation?

    A strong base completely dissociates in aqueous solution, releasing hydroxide ions.

  • Why are Group 1A hydroxides considered strong bases?

    They fully dissociate in water to give OH- ions and their cations are highly soluble.

  • What is the chemical formula for sulfuric acid?

    H\(_2\)SO\(_4\)

  • What is the chemical formula for nitric acid?

    HNO\(_3\)

  • What is the chemical formula for hydrochloric acid?

    HCl

  • What is the chemical formula for potassium hydroxide?

    KOH

  • What is the chemical formula for calcium hydroxide?

    Ca(OH)\(_2\)

  • Which strong acid contains iodine?

    HI (Hydroiodic acid)

  • Which strong acid contains chlorine and oxygen in its formula?

    HClO\(_3\) (Chloric acid) and HClO\(_4\) (Perchloric acid)

  • Which strong base is the hydroxide of rubidium?

    RbOH

  • Which strong base is the hydroxide of barium?

    Ba(OH)\(_2\)

  • What is the common property of heavy Group 2A hydroxides?

    They are strong bases and include Ca(OH)\(_2\), Sr(OH)\(_2\), and Ba(OH)\(_2\).
