Stable chemical compounds, are electrically neutral when mixed with water.
In order to form a water solution, dismember in positive or negative charged particles.
These charged particles are called "i
”. When we apply differential potential in two electrodes immersed in a

solution, it is possible to verify that positive ions (H , Na and more) will migrate to the negative terminal, that is

why we call them cations. The reverse happens with negative ions (OH , Cl and more) that will migrate to the
“ “
positive terminal and we call them anions. The ions freedom to migrate thru a solution is measured with
the solution
". Chemical compounds that produce conductive solutions are called
"
". Those that totally dissociate (strong acids, strong bases and salt) are called "
"
.
The others whose dissociation is not big (acids and weak bases) are called "
". For an
hypotetical chemical compound "MA" that dissociates in cations
and anions

The arrow indicates that exists a balance between MA not dissociated and the ions M

The extension that this reaction moves to the right or left, varies from one compound to the other and with the solution
Temperature.
For a specific temperature, there is a relation between the ions activity and the non dissociated molecules, that can vary
between 0 up to 100%. This relation is called K Dissociation and it is expressed by the equation:

Few hydrogen ions result at the solution, so the acetic acid is an weak acid when the most present ion is the OH-, the
solution is alkaline.
The sodium hydroxide is totally dissociated, this is the reason for being a

As we can see, for both acids and bases the strength of a solution depends on the H+ or OH- ion numbers available that
depends not only on the compound concentration at the water, but also on the " "

K dissociation.
The water molecules number dissociated is low, in comparison with the non dissociated, so we can consider as an
activity of HOH equal to 100%.
