Is it true that in strong acids most of the molecules break up into ions in the solution?

Yes, that is true. Strong acids ionize, in a aqueous solution. It is the released hydrogen ions that make them acids.

Do weak acids completely dissociate like strong acids but then instantly change to base in water?
Nope. They just don't fully dissociate. The molecules don't break apart completely.
Why are strong acids also strong electrolytes?
strong acids completely dissociate in water, this results in anions and cations "floating" in water. the large amounts of ions in solution give strong acids the property of being strong electrolytes
What best describes how weak acids or weak bases dissolve in water?
Weak acids and weak bases partially ionize when dissolved in water unlike strong acids and strong bases that completely ionize when dissolved. Ethanoic acid is a weak acid. At any one time, only about 1% of the ethanoic acid molecules have converted into ions. The rest remain as simple ethanoic acid molecules.
Is HNO3 a non electrolyte?
no its a strong electrolyte no its a strong electrolyte
What is difference between flocculation and precipitation?
PrecipitaionLets take protein in water as a solution as an example. Protein consists of hydrophobic amino acids and hydrophilic amino acids. Hydrophobic amino acids are usually seen in the protein core and hydrophilic aminoacids forms hydrogen bond with water molecules. When an organic solvent, or salt is added to the solution water molecules which are in hydrogen bond with the hydrophilic amino acids break the bond and binds with the salt or solvent. Thus protein protein interaction becomes stronger than protein -water interaction. So due to partial dipole interaction and electrostatic force of attraction protein molecules aggregate and precipitate.FlocculationConsider a solution of proteins. If the solution is agitated continuously the protein molecules come together. If the agitation is that stronger effect to overcome the electrostatic force of repulsion between the protein molecules, they will cling together and forms floc. Another method is adding chemicals called flocculants. By adding floculants the electrostatic repulsion between the protein molecules can be reduced and this will lead to attraction of protein molecules and formation of floc.
In what kind of solution do all the molecules of an acid break apart in water?
strong acid

What fat break into?
3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol molecules

What kind of solution do all the molecules of an acid break apart in water?
When an acid dissolves in water, the molecules of the acid break apart into ions. Specifically, the acid molecules donate protons (H+ ions) to the water molecules, resulting in the formation of hydronium ions (H3O+) and negatively charged ions from the acid. This process is called ionization or dissociation.
Why do large molecules need to be broken down into smaller molecules in the digestive system?
When large molecules are broken down they actually turn into a different substance. Proteins break down into amino acids. Lipids break down into fatty acids. Carbohydrates break down into simple sugars. And those are just a few of them. Large molecules need to break down so that they can change into other substances so they can dissolve or help the body another way.
What is it called when all of the molecules of an acid break apart in water?
This is a strong acid.
How does fermentation work?
Fermentation is a metabolic by which sugars turn to acids, gases, or alcohol using yeast or bacteria. The sugar molecules break down, and the energy generated from that reaction enable the other molecules to bind to new molecules, which creates the acids, gases, or alcohols depending on what the surrounding molecules are.

What body organ contains strong acids to break down food?
You are probably referring to the stomach.
