yes or very closely. With weaker acids an equilibrium is formed and there is a degree of ionisation e.g. ethanoic acid/acetic acid. However with strong acids the forward reaction is so strong, due to high degrees of ionisation, that there is virtually no reverse reaction so for all intents and purposes are completely ionised in water. This question could also be stated better, complete ionisation is perhaps not the correct term as that infers that the ionic compound is completely broken up, whereas in most circumstances it is simply the hydrogen ion that is dissociated from the adjacent part of the molecule, thus accounting for its acidity

In water a substance that ionizes completely in solution is called?

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.


What is a substance that ionizes completely in aqueos solutions and produces h3o?

An example of a substance that ionizes completely in aqueous solutions to produce H3O+ ions is hydrochloric acid (HCl). When dissolved in water, HCl dissociates into H+ and Cl- ions, with the H+ ions combining with water molecules to form hydronium ions (H3O+).


A substance which ionizes to form hydrogen ions when dissolved in water is?

What is a substance that ionizes or dissociates into ions when placed in water?

every gas can be ionised, in fact, any chemical can be ionised.


What describes an acid which dissociates completely?

An acid that dissociates completely in water is called a strong acid. This means that it fully ionizes into its constituent ions in solution, leading to a high concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+). Strong acids have a high affinity for donating protons to water molecules.


What is a strong electrolyte?

A strong electrolyte is a substance that completely ionizes into ions when dissolved in a solution, resulting in high conductivity. Strong electrolytes include soluble salts like NaCl and strong acids like HCl.

Is HClO3 a weak acid?

No, HClO3 (chloric acid) is considered a strong acid. It ionizes almost completely in water to produce H+ ions.
