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.
Acids Bases and pH Scale. I. Acids *Acids are ionic compounds (a compound with a positive or negative charge) that break apart in water to form a hydrogen ion (H +). *The strength of an acid is based on the concentration of H + ions in the solution. The more H+ the stronger the acid.
Acid and Base Strength. All acids and bases do not ionize or dissociate to the same extent. This leads to the statement that acids and bases are not all of equal strength in producing H+ and OH- ions in solution. The terms strong and weak give an indication of the strength of an acid or base. The terms strong and weak describe the ability of acid and base solutions to conduct electricity.
