The _____________ of an acid and a base is determined by how completely they dissociate in water.
strength
dissocciate
Dissociate
base
Strength
false
base
It completely dissociates in water.
it does not dissociate completely in water -APEX. hope this helps
No, only strong bases do:weak: B- + H2O HB + OH- (completely right ---> )
HCl is soluble in water. It is a strong acid and will dissociate completely to form H+ ions and Cl- ions.

It is a weak acid, as it does not dissociate completely.

HCl is soluble in water. It is a strong acid and will dissociate completely to form H+ ions and Cl- ions.
neither, Formic acid does not completely dissociate in water so it is a weak acid. HCOOH + H2O <=> HCOO- + H3O+
Strong acids are those acids which completely dissociate into its ions in aqueous solutions. since hydrochloric acid does exactly the same, it is called a strong acid
Completely dissociate in solution.
A weak acid is one that doesn't completely dissociate when you put it in water. Weak acids can be very corrosive acids--hydrofluoric acid (call it HF because "hydrofluoric" and "hydrochloric" sound a lot alike) is the most corrosive and dangerous acid going, and it's a weak acid because, thanks to the fluorine atom's extreme reactivity, it doesn't completely dissociate when placed in water.
acids are low pH and taste sour. bases are high in pH and taste bitter. both dissolve in water, some completely dissociating, while some do not. strong acids completely dissociate into ions, like sulphuric acid. acetic acid does not dissociate in water, and so is a weak acid. bases can be this way also.
