  1. Partially ionizes in solution
  2. Completely ionizes in solution
  3. Has a high pH
  4. Is a weak electrolyte

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of a strong acid?
  • Step 1: Understand what an acid is. An acid is a substance that can donate protons (H+ ions) in a solution.
  • Step 2: Learn about strong acids. Strong acids are those that completely break apart into ions when dissolved in water.
  • Step 3: Know what 'completely ionizes' means. This means that all the acid molecules turn into ions, leaving no undissolved acid in the solution.
  • Step 4: Recognize examples of strong acids, like hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4), which fully ionize in water.
  • Step 5: Conclude that a characteristic of a strong acid is that it completely ionizes in solution.
