What is it called when all of the molecules of an acid break apart in water?
This is a strong acid.
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.
When a strong acid dissolves in water how many molecules break apart?
All of them. The definition of a strong acid is a molecule that completely dissociates into hydrogen ions and a negatively charged ion in water. In contrast, a weak acid is a molecule that partially dissociates into hydrogen ions and a negative charge ion in water - you can find both the intact acid form (HA) and the ion forms (H+ and A-) in the water.
Why do acids or bases dissociate?
polar water molecules pull apart the acid or base by pulling on the charged ions.
What happens to most of the molecules of a strong acid when the acid is mixed with water?
the molecules are donated to water molecules. if a little of the acid remains after it is added to water, then it is a strong acid. if a lot remains, then it is a weak acid. same goes for bases.

When an acid or base dissolves in water what is the dependent on the number of molecules that break apart?
You think probable to dissociation constant.
What a strong acid dissolves in waterhow many molecules break apart?
All particles of a strong acid are ionized (protolysis) when dissolving in more water (dilute solutions)
What happens when an Acid or base molecules break apart when they come in contact?
They form more stable compounds which are salt and water along with release of energy
What does it mean if an acid or base is ''weak''?
it means that the acid or the base doesn't completely dissociate when placed in water. Let's take a weak acid. HNO2. When placed in water, not all of the HNO2 molecules will break apart. The ions in the solution will be H+, NO2-, and HNO2. Because there are less ions in the solution, the acid/base is weak. Not all of the HNO2 will break apart! A strong acid will completely dissociate. That means if you place HCl in water, the ions will be H+, and Cl-, NO HCl. This is because once they break apart, the chlorine will stay apart from the hydrogen. This leaves many ions in the solution, making the acid/base strong.
What cause an acid or base to dissociate?
The polar water molecules pull apart the ions of the acid or base

Why does water evaporate faster than vinegar?
Vinegar evaporates quicker then water because the acid inside of vinegar causes the sun to make the molecules inside the vinegar to boil faster then the water so then the molecules inside the vinegar will break apart faster until the vinegar is completely gone Acetic acid enthalpy of vaporization is lower compared to the same property of water.
