Question 7 • Chemistry

A strong acid, HA , is added to water. Which statement about the solution is true?

Answer
A
It contains little or no HA .
B
It contains mostly hydroxide ions.
C
It contains a low amount of ions.
D
It contains almost no hydronium ions.

Explanation

A strong acid ionizes almost completely in water. Therefore, very little of the original HA remains undissociated, making “It contains little or no HA” the true statement. The solution contains hydronium ions, not mostly hydroxide ions, and it has many ions rather than a low amount.
