The non Lewis Acids will always have a H+ ion. Water lends itself to being the universal solvent, because it has the ionic components of both .. acids and bases. To illustrate , water contains both H+ and OH- , being put together as HOH , or simply H2O. With a stoichiometric ratio of one Hydrogen ion (H+) for each hydroxide ion (OH-), water is considered to be neutral, with a pH of 7.

Do strong acids always contain oxygen?

No. The haloacids (hydrochloric, hydrobromic, and hydriodic acids) are strong acids that lack oxygen. They have the formulas HCl, HBr, and HI respectively. An example of a strong acid, at about pH 2 would be Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) which is made up of one atom of hydrogen and one atom of chlorine. HCl is a binary (2 atoms) acid (another example would be Hydrosulfuric Acid - H2S) all of which are oxygen-free; however, ternary (3 atoms) acids do contain oxygen. Examples would include Nitric Acid - HNO3 and Chlorous Acid - HClO2 where the O represents oxygen.

What is a oxy acid?

An oxy acid is an inorganic acid that contain at least one oxygen atom along with at least one atom other than oxygen in each anion formed when the acid donates a proton to another substance. The most common ones contain sulfur, nitrogen, phosphorus, or a halogen other than fluorine along with the oxygen, but there are also many that contain a transition metal ion such as chromium or manganese. Examples include sulfuric, sulfurous, phosphoric, phosphorous, nitric, perchloric, manganic, and chromic acids
