Distinguish between strong and weak acids. List some clinical uses of these acids and write equations for their dissociation in water.
a) Strong acids dissociate completely in water, while weak acids only partially dissociate. Strong acids are used in pharmaceuticals, and their dissociation equation is complete.
b) Weak acids dissociate completely in water, while strong acids only partially dissociate. Weak acids are used in clinical diagnostics, and their dissociation equation is incomplete.
c) Strong acids dissociate completely in water, while weak acids only partially dissociate. Both strong and weak acids have clinical applications, and their dissociation equations may be complete or incomplete.
d) Weak acids dissociate completely in water, while strong acids only partially dissociate. Both strong and weak acids have clinical applications, and their dissociation equations are complete.
