Dissociation is a general process in which complexes, molecules, or salts separate or split into smaller molecules, ions, or radicals, usually in a reversible manner. Dissociation is the opposite of association and recombination.

wow, thx for the help, i amy have mnore qns tghough haha, i missed some lessons in school during CNY...

this is correct i think....means loses proton(H+ ions) to the water, thus increasing H+ ions concentration hence decreases pH which is -log [H+]....if i recall correctly lah hahaOriginally posted by wonderamazement:H+ ions separate... -
break down into ions la...positive and negative ions la...
edit: one of them is H+ ion
if dibasic...2 H+ ions
