Weak acid dissociation reactions do not go to completion, while strong acid dissociation reactions effectively do. Weak acids have a larger value of pKa than strong acids.
The main similarity between strong and weak acids is that they both produce hydronium ions when in water, i.e. H3O+. As a result of this, they both will lower the pH of an aqueous solution.
The acids ability to disassociate completely in solution. Strong acids do and weak acids do not.
Strong acids dissociate completely in aqueous solution; weak acids do not.
True organic acids are weak acids but alpha substituted acids may be strong as 'trichloric acetic acid is a very strong acid.
Lowest pH, strong acids, then weak acids, then salts of strong acids and strong bases, then salts of weak acids and strong bases, then weak bases, then strong bases. All very confusing!
Mineral acids are strong acids.

acids are of types.....concentrated acids are strong.
Weak Acids
strong acid
A strong acid ionizes partially in water while a weak acid ionizes fully in water.
Mineral acids are strong acids.

it is weak and strong because it neutralises acids. So its strong not weak but weak not strong.
