Answer:

Strong acids.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Acid is a substance that produces hydronium ions (H₃O⁺) when dissolved in water. Acids have a pH less than 7.
  • The degree of hydronium ions (H₃O⁺) depends on the strength of the acid.
  • Strong acids are completely ionized and produce hydronium ions (H₃O⁺).

HA + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + A⁻.

  • Weak acids are partially ionized and produce hydronium ions (H₃O⁺).

HA + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + A⁻.
