Rabies is a very serious viral infection that targets the brain and nervous system. You can catch rabies if you are bitten by an infected animal and haven't been vaccinated. It's almost always fatal once symptoms develop, but can be prevented if treatment is given promptly after exposure.
**The pH scale is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration. It spans from 0 to 14 with the middle point (pH 7) being neutral (neither acidic or basic). Any pH number greater than 7 is considered a base and any pH number less than 7 is considered an acid. 0 is the strongest acid and 14 is the strongest base.
Strong acids and strong bases are strong electrolytes [e.g., HCl(aq), H 2 SO 4 (aq), HClO 4 (aq);NaOH(aq)]. There are virtually no molecules of a strong acid or base in solution, only ions.Know the strong acids and bases on the accompanying hand-out Strong and Weak Acidsand Bases.Assume that any other acid or base you encounter in this course is weak, unlesstold to the contrary.here are virtually no molecules of a strong acid or base in solution, only ions.Know the strong acids and bases on the accompanying hand-out Strong and Weak Acidsand Bases.
