Question

A strong acid, HA, is added to water. Which statement about the solution is true?

It contains mostly hydroxide ions.

It contains almost no hydronium ions.

It contains little or no HA.

It contains a low amount of ions.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:It contains little or no HA.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a strong acid is added to water it dissociates into its constituent ion .

`HA+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++A^-`

Actually the concentration of
`H^+` ions in water increases in comparison to hydroxide ions. And very little amount of HA will remain present associated in the solution.
