It depends on why they "break apart". If its a reaction with another material then the products really depend on the other material and the "strong acid" you select. The customary three in the lab are HCl (Hydrochloric acid) H2SO4 (Sulphuric acid) and HNO3 (Nitric acid). The way these react also depends on whether they are diluted or concentrated. When diluted acids (all three mentioned) react with a metal oxide for example (or break apart if you like) to form the metal salt and water. for example MgO + 2HCl -> Mg(Cl)2 + H2O, or H2SO4 + CaO -> CaSO4 + H2O. With metals they can produce Hydrogen E.g. Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2 . When concentrated they behave differently, concentrated H2SO4 will for example "remove" the hydrogen & oxygen from sugar (which is made of Carbon Hydrogen and Oxygen joined together as a molecule) to make water leaving a sludge of very hot carbon - it is a violent reaction because H2SO4 likes water so much. This question needs a huge answer really so for more try a good Chemistry text!

Which phrase is not true about strong acids?
turn red litmus paper blue
Colour that litmus will turn in acids?
Blue litmus turns red in acids.
Do bases turn phenolphthalein pink?
No, acids do
What does litmus do in acid and bases?
Litmus paper is reactive to acids and bases. Acids make the paper turn red; bases make it turn blue.
Will strong acids turns universal indicator paper red?
yes strong acids will turn ph paper red
What color the red cabbage juice turn in to when it is mixed with strong acids?
it turns into a yellowish orangish. Depends on what acids.
Would strong acids turn universal indicator paper purple?
nope
Which phrase is not true about strong acids?
turn red litmus paper blue
Why don't all acids turn indicators pink?
because not all acids are strong some can be an acid and an alkaline and some just a weaker acid
Why would chemical engineers chose strong bases or acids to be inside batteries?
to be able to actually power a motor/battery long enough to get you somewhere or charege a remote to turn the channel strong acids are needed to do these things
What is human acidity?
human acid is caused by plant acids, known as the humic acids. Mosses and lichens provide a good example. As these three plants grow on rocks, they produce acids that, in turn, break down the minerals found within the rocks.
Why does sperm turn dark brown?
the blood cells begin to break apart so it eventually turns a shade of brown
Can acids turn black tea lighter?
Yes ACIDS CAN TURN BLACK TEA LIGHTER.
What do acids in water separates into?
Strong acids: if its a strong acid, it will separate completely in water, meaning that the H+ ion concentration in the water will increase, which in turn causes the pH to decrease example: HCl -> H+ + Cl- Weak acids: weak acids don't separate completely in water, but because they are acids, they still separate. You can figure out how much of the acid has broken up by using a rice table and looking up the Ka. example: HCN <--> H+ + CN-
Can you get rainbow sandals wet?
They can get wet, but the bottom of your feet tend to turn orange, but your rainbow sandals will not break apart. They also take awhile to dry
Which items turn red litmus paper blue?
Litmus paper is an indicator used to roughly measure the strength of acids and alkalis on the pH scale. pH1 is a strong acid, pH7 is neutral, pH14 is a strong alkali Alkalis will turn the litmus paper blue, the darker the blue the stronger the alkali
