Answer:

(Because the given was unclear, I do not know the statements that was provided. I will give you what I can)

  • The strength of an acid or base is the extent to which it ionizes when dissolved in water. A strong acid or base ionizes completely, while a weak acid or base ionizes partially.
  • The strength of an acid or base is quantified by its ionization constant, K a or K b , which represents the equilibrium concentration of the ions produced by the acid or base ionization reaction. A high K a or K b value indicates a strong acid or base, while a low K a or K b value indicates a weak acid or base.
  • The strength of an acid or base is measured by its pH, which is the negative logarithm of the hydronium ion concentration in solution. A low pH indicates a high hydronium ion concentration and a strong acid, while a high pH indicates a low hydronium ion concentration and a strong base. A neutral pH is 7, which corresponds to pure water.
