If a strong acid were added to one container of pure water and an equal amount of a weak acid were added to a second container of pure water:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding a strong acid to water would decrease the pH significantly because strong acids dissociate completely in water, releasing a large number of hydrogen ions (H+). A weak acid, on the other hand, only partially dissociates in water, releasing fewer hydrogen ions compared to a strong acid. Therefore, the pH of the container with the strong acid would decrease more than the container with the weak acid, which is not an option provided.
