Question on: JAMB Chemistry - 2024
Strong acids can be distinguished from weak acids by any of the following methods, EXCEPT
Strong acids and weak acids can be differentiated by their properties:
A. Conductivity measurement: Strong acids ionize completely in solution, producing more ions and hence exhibiting higher conductivity compared to weak acids.
B. The use of litmus paper: Both strong and weak acids turn blue litmus paper red. Litmus paper only indicates the presence of an acid, not its strength.
C. Measurement of pH: Strong acids have a lower pH (closer to 0) than weak acids at the same concentration.
D. Measurement of heat of reaction: Strong acids release more heat during a reaction (e.g., with a base) because the reaction goes to completion more readily.
