Detailed Solution

Strong acid: We know that strong acids have a higher concentration of Hydrogen ions. Therefore, acids that get completely dissociated in an aqueous solution and produce more hydronium ions or acids that give a high concentration of H+ions on ionization in an aqueous solution are said to be strong acids. For example, Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and nitric acid etc.

Weak Acid: Weak acids have a lower concentration of hydrogen ions. Acids that don't dissociate completely in an aqueous solution and produce less concentration of hydronium ions or acids that give a low concentration of H+ions on ionization in an aqueous solution are said to be weak acids. Weak acids have relatively low pH values and are used to neutralize strong bases. For example, Acetic acid (CH3COOH) formic acid (HCOOH), citric acid, phosphoric acid, etc.
