Question

What is true of a strong acid? (3 points)

Select one:
a. It ionizes close to 100 percent in water.
b. It is a weak electrolyte.
c. It does not conduct electricity in solution.
d. It always has a high concentration.

Answer 1

The answer is A it’s ionizes in water

Answer 2

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A strong acid is an acid which completely dissociates into its ions in a solution.

For example, HCl is a strong acid and it dissociates as follows.

`HCl \rightleftharpoons H^(+) + Cl^(-)`

Whereas a weak acid dissociates slightly into a solution.

Thus, we can conclude that it is true of a strong acid that it ionizes close to 100 percent in water.
