Hydrochloric acid is considered a strong acid compared to other acids because it completely dissociates in water to release hydrogen ions. This makes it highly corrosive and capable of causing severe burns.

Which one of the following is an example of a strong acid?

Strong acids , sometimes called the mineral acids, are Hydrochloric, Sulphuric,, Nitric and Phosphoric acids. There are other mineral acids too. However, do not confuse with Organic (carboxylic/fatty) acids, which are generally weak acids.


Example of strong acid?

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is an example of a strong acid. It completely dissociates in water to form H+ ions and Cl- ions, making it a strong electrolyte. This dissociation results in a high concentration of H+ ions in solution, giving hydrochloric acid its characteristic strong acidic properties.


Is shampoo an nitric or a hydrochloric?

Shampoo is neither nitric nor hydrochloric. Shampoos typically contain water, surfactants, conditioning agents, and other ingredients to cleanse and nourish the hair. Nitric acid and hydrochloric acid are strong acids used in chemistry, not in hair care products.


How do you tell if an acid is strong or weak?

It is a matter of memorization. There are only 6 common strong acids, some sources list 7 or 8. All other acids can be considered weak. The six commonly listed strong acids are: Hydrochloric acid: HCl Hydrobromic acid: HBr Hydroiodic acid: HI Perchloric acid: HClO4 Nitric acid: HNO3 Sulfuric acid: H2SO4 Two acids sometimes cited as strong acids are: Periodic acid: HIO4 Chloric acid: HClO3


Strongest acid with the letter Q in it?

One of the strongest acids with the letter Q in its name is quinolinic acid. It is a derivative of niacin (vitamin B3) and can act as both a proton donor and acceptor in chemical reactions. Its acidity is moderate compared to some other strong acids like sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid.


Is Hydrochloric acid a mineral acid?

because it completely ionizes in water while natural acids don't


The majority of all acids are what is what ionize 100 percent or are strong molecular acids?

The majority of strong acids ionize 100% in water, meaning they completely dissociate into ions. Examples of strong acids include hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and nitric acid (HNO3). On the other hand, weak acids only partially ionize in water, resulting in an equilibrium with both dissociated and undissociated forms present.


What is the solubility of Thorium?

Thorium is insoluble in water but can dissolve in strong acids such as hydrochloric acid or nitric acid. Its solubility in these acids depends on various factors such as concentration, temperature, and presence of other ions in solution.
