100%. by definition, strong acids ionize completely... so they are 100% ionized.

Answer:

100 %

Step-by-step explanation:

A strong acid like the HCl is completely ionized in water, in this case, 100 %.

The chemical explanation is that HCl ionizes completely into two ions, the hydrogen ion (H+) and the chloride ion(Cl-).
