Why are equilibrium arrows used in the ionization equations for some acids?

They are used with weak acids -- acids that don't dissociate completely. Some acid molecules break up; some protons bond back with the anion. Thus, the forward reaction is occurring at the same time as the backwards reaction, and there exists an equilibrium between the two.

With solutions of strong acids and bases the word strong refers to what?
...do not quote me but... It is in reference to the ionization. The "stronger" an acid/basic is, the more it ionizes. The weaker, the less it ionizes. its degree of ionization
Do strong acids and bases conduct more or less electricity than weak ones?
Because of the ionization with in the water soulte
What is the difference between dissociation constant and equilibrium constant?
Equilibrium constants aren't changed if you change the concentrations of things present in the equilibrium. The only thing that changes an equilibrium constant is a change of temperature. The position of equilibrium is changed if you change the concentration of something present in the mixture. According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the position of equilibrium moves in such a way as to tend to undo the change that you have made.
Are Arrhenius bases an electrolyte?
All acids and bases are electrolytes. Some are more powerful than others, depending on the extent of ionization and dissociation of the solution.
Does all of the acetic acids dissociate after the reaction reaches equilibrium?
No. Acetic acid is a weak acid. It only partially dissociates.
What are the advantages to ionization of amino acids?
For faster transportation As active form of most amino acids are ionized when they undergo reaction

How is the strength of acids and alkalinity related to the pH scale based on the completeness of ionization?
The stronger the acid or base, the more completely it ionizes.

Chemical equations for reactionsof water with a acid?
Many acids doesn't react with water but they form solutions.

Do you get more product from a strong acid or a weak acid?
Given the concentrations and amounts of the acids are the same, the strong acid would produce more product. Strong acids continue to completion, while weak acids normally settle at an equilibrium before completion.
PH effect on enzymes?
A change in pH can alter the ionization of the R groups of the amino acids. When the charges on the amino acids change, hydrogen bonding within the protein molecule changes and the molecule changes shape. The new shape therefore may not be effective
