Learning outcomes - after studying this topic, you should be able to:

• explain the difference between a strong and weak acid and the difference between a strong and weak base in terms of the percentage dissociation in solution
• explain the increase in pK_a values for dissocation of the protons in a polyprotic acid

• Section 11.4 (in Blackman, Bottle, Schmid, Mocerino and Wille, Chemistry, 3^rd Edition, 2015 (John Wiley))

• Weak acids and bases (in ChemWiki)
• Strong and weak acids/bases (in Wikibooks General Chemistry)
