Equilibria of Acids and Bases

Question 1 • Crowley Original Credit Chemistry B

Which will become completely dissociated when dissolved in water?

Answer
A
ammonia
B
pyridine
C
sulfuric acid
D
acetic acid

Explanation

Sulfuric acid is a strong acid, so it ionizes essentially completely in water (at least in its first ionization). Ammonia and pyridine are weak bases, and acetic acid is a weak acid; each only partially ionizes in water. Therefore, sulfuric acid is the correct choice.
