Weak acid dissociation reactions do not go to completion, while strong acid dissociation reactions effectively do. Weak acids have a larger value of pKa than strong acids.

∙ 7y agoThe main similarity between strong and weak acids is that they both produce hydronium ions when in water, i.e. H3O+. As a result of this, they both will lower the pH of an aqueous solution.
The acids ability to disassociate completely in solution. Strong acids do and weak acids do not.
Strong acids dissociate completely in aqueous solution; weak acids do not.
True organic acids are weak acids but alpha substituted acids may be strong as 'trichloric acetic acid is a very strong acid.
Lowest pH, strong acids, then weak acids, then salts of strong acids and strong bases, then salts of weak acids and strong bases, then weak bases, then strong bases. All very confusing!

acids are of types.....concentrated acids are strong.
