An acids strength, by one definition, is dependent upon the number of hydrogen ions produced in solution. A strong acid that is 100% ionized therefore would potentially have more hydrogen ions in solution than an acid that was only 50% ionized. This assumes that they are both similar in their hydrogen content.

The problem with total ionization/dissociation (and more so with higher concentrations) is that there occurs a common ion effect in the solution itself. Too much H+ and A- (where HA is the acid) accumulate in the solution, and so when equilibrium with minimum energy state is established, you have highly, but never completely ionized acid or base. On increasing the temperature, it will ionize more.

What happens when a strong acid and a strong base react?
They form water and a salt which is either soluble thus ionised, or as insoluble precipitate.
What is an acidic compound?
A compound in chemistry is when there are two or more elements bonded together that can be separated to become different substances. A strong acidic compound would be HCl (Hydrochloric Acid). A weak acidic compound would be H2CO3, (Carbonic Acid). A strong acid is one which is virtually 100% ionised in solution. A weak acid is one that does not ionise fully when it is dissolved in water.
Is dilute hydrochloric acid a strong acid or a weak acid I need this by today thanks?
It is actually classed as a strong acid being fully ionized
What produced the sulfuric acid that helped from the lechugilla caves?
acid rain and the acid that is ionised in the water
What is the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid answers.com?
A strong acid dissociates more fully than a weak acid.

What happens when a strong acid and a strong base are mix together?
They react by forming water and a salt which is either soluble thus ionised, or as insoluble precipitate.

Why is HBR fully dissociated?
because it is a strong acid

What is the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid answers.com?
A strong acid dissociates more fully than a weak acid.
Why is sulphuric acid said to be a strong acid?
Sulfuric acid is strong, not a weak acid, because at least one H+ (proton) is fully dissociated when in dilute solution.
What is the difference between strong and and weak acids?
A strong acid ionizes partially in water while a weak acid ionizes fully in water.
Do weak acids require more base than strong acid?
No, they require a stronger, not more, acid to react fully with.
What is a difference between a stronge acid and a weak acid?
Strong acids dissociate fully in water to produce the maximum number of H + ions. ... Weak acids, such as ethanoic acid (CH 3COOH), do not fully dissociate.
What compounds are electrolytes?
Inorganic compounds that can be completely ionised are considered to be strong electrolytes.
