What's the difference between strong and weak acids/bases ?

Strong acids are compounds that release all of their H+ in solution, they ionize completely. 

Weak acids do not inoize completely, some of their hydrogen ions remain bonded within a compound in solution. 

Strong bases release most of their OH- 

Weak bases release only some OH- to absorb only a few H+

By giving an example, explain a polar covalent bond. 

Polar molecules occur when atoms
share electrons unequally, in polar covalent bonds. The oxygen region has a slightly negative
charge and the regions of the hydrogen atoms have a slightly positive charge

350

Pick a reaction influencer and explain why it works?

Shhh.. if they talk about concentration & pressure they lose 60 points 


surface area : 

- If chemical reactions are to occur quickly, the atoms in the reactants have to have easy access to one another. The greater surface area of the reactants, the more readily they will interact. 

- Gases tend to react faster than liquids or solids. 

- The larger the molecule, the greater the number of total bonds, so reactions involving smaller molecules, with fewer total bonds, would be expected to proceed faster. 

Temperature :Nearly all chemical reactions occur at a faster rate at higher temperatures. The higher the temperature, the faster the particles move, and the more likely they are to come in contact and react. 

Concentration & pressure : The more particles present within a given space, the more likely those particles are to bump into one another. Chemists can speed up chemical reactions not only by increasing concentration of particles but also by decreasing the volume of the space which would correspondingly increase the pressure. 

enzymes and other catalyst : Catalyst → substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing anu change.
