HCl
or
Hydrochloric acid
Is a strong acid. Th strong acids ionize 100% in a solvent, while the weak acids only about 10% will ionize.

Strong
It dissociates completely into ions
The strength of an acidrefers to its ability or tendency to lose a proton (H+). A strong acid is one that completely ionizes (dissociates) in a solution
Sulfuric acid is a strong acid because it ionizes completely.
Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, which means it dissociates completely in solution. You can not be more ' acidic ' than that. Just because an acid ionizes completely doesn't really say how acidic a solution of HCl will be. HCl is defined as a strong acid because it ionizes completely. However, if its diluted enough one can drink it just like vinegar (about a 5% solution of acetic acid). Of course one could dilute it enough to make it so the solution is pretty much no more acidic than pure water. The original answer was probably answering what was the intent of the question, whether HCl is a strong or weak acid.

Strong
A substance that ionises completely in water which in most cases is an acid are known as strong acids,they can also be called polar substances.

No. A strong base ionizes completely, while a weak acid only ionizes partially.
It dissociates (or ionizes) nearly completely with water.
No. A substance that completely ionizes is a strong electrolyte. If such a substance is also a base then it is a strong base.

Sulfuric acid is a strong acid because it ionizes completely.
No, HCIO is not a strong electrolyte. It is considered a weak electrolyte. This means that it does not dissociate completely within a solution.
