Pure, distilled water is not an acid at all. Regular old water is whatever you want it to be, depending on what you dissolve in it.
For example, hydrogen chloride in water makes hydrochloric acid, the strong acid so helpful for digesting your food and de-scaling your pool.
One note: I'm assuming you are using the terms "weak" and "strong" in their most technical sense. Remember that some weak acids are more corrosive than some strong acids.

∙ 13y agoFor an acid to ionize water, lots of chemical reactions occur. Usually when they happen, the used chemicals such as carbon and hydrogen atoms result into a large shape and eventually a penis. From these discoveries scientists have concluded Sandwiches with butter cheese and toast come from the penis formation of the atoms. Then the artists OFWGKTA decimates all the atoms and rapes the balls out of them. From my answer I have concluded that strong acids ionize macaroni and cheese in water.

∙ 7y agoA strong acid will dissociate (ionize) completely in solution. It will not consist of any associated molecules; only its constituent ions. HCl is a common example of a strong acid. In solution, it exists only has H+ and Cl- ions.

∙ 11y agoNo, a strong acid means it dissociates to a large extent and hence by the definition of electrolyte is a strong electrolyte.

∙ 11y agoNo, a strong acid is an acid that disassociates almost 100% in water; donates almost all of it's electron(s) to the solution.

What ionizes completely in solution and is considered to be a strong acid?
HClorHydrochloric acid
Do Strong acids dissociate completely when dissolved in water?
No, only strong bases do:weak: B- + H2O HB + OH- (completely right ---> )
Difference between a weak and a strong acid involves the acid's ability to?
ionize
Does acid dissolve in water?
This depends on how strong the acid is and whether or not it is polyprotic (or has more than 1 Hydrogen) But in general: In water, acids dissolve into the hydronium ion (H3O+) and the conjugate base. The hydronium ion is just an access proton, or Hydrogen (H) without the electron, making it a positive (H+). For example: Hydrochloric acid (a strong, monoprotic acid, formula = HCl) in water looks like: HCl + H20 ---> H3O+ + Cl- Cl- is the conjugate base of HCl. H3O+ has the access H+ ion from the acid.
What does it mean to say that an acid is strong in aqueous solution?
A strong acid is one that when dissolved in water, it will completely ionize (above 90% dissociation) and give a high concentration of protons and so, has a low pH (0 to2).
What is strong about strong acid?
Strong acids are referred to as such because they ionize completely in water, forming hydronium ions and the conjugate base of the acid. On the other hand, weak acids only ionize partially, and usually remaining as whole acid molecules.

What is the difference weak Arrhenius acid and a strong Arrhenius acid?
a strong arrhenius acid is more highly ionized while the weak acid isn't The greater the degree of ionization of an acid, the better its water solution will conduct a current. Hydrochloric, sulfuric, and nitric acids ionize almost comploetely and thus are strong acids. Acetic acid and hydrosulfuric acid ionize only slightly and thus are weak acids.

What a example of a strong acid?
strong acids are the acids that ionize completely in an aqueous solution.. egs are sulphuric acid, perchloric acid, hydroiodic acid, fluoroantimonic acid, fluorosulphuric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid..
Why bf3 behave as Lewis acid?
Strong acids ionize fully in water to produce ions whereas weak acids donot ionize fully in water. Boric acid behaves as a Lewis acid and accepts OH- ions from water.It doesnot dissociate to produce ions rather forms metaborate ion and in turn release ions. Hence boric acid is considered a weak acid.
Why are hydrochloric acid and vinegar acids?
They are acids because they are electrolytes, meaning they both ionize or donate H+ ion to the water molecules.HCl is a strong electrolyte because when it is dissolved in water, the almost all of the H+ ions will ionize and become surrounded by water molecules. A weak acid like vinegar will only have a small fraction of H+ ions split off.
What best describes how weak acids or weak bases dissolve in water?
Weak acids and weak bases partially ionize when dissolved in water unlike strong acids and strong bases that completely ionize when dissolved. Ethanoic acid is a weak acid. At any one time, only about 1% of the ethanoic acid molecules have converted into ions. The rest remain as simple ethanoic acid molecules.
Which CHEMICAL will ionize when placed in water koh hcl kcl or licl?
Salts dissociate because they are already ionized.Acids and weak bases ionize in water.KOH is a strong baseKCl is a saltLiCl is a saltHCl will ionize in water.
