Question

an acid exhibits a 99.9% ionization. is this a strong or weak acid? its not possible to determine this without the chemical formula of the acid. weak acid! the acid doesnt completely dissociate. strong acid! the acid completely dissociates. strong acid! the acid produces h+ ions in solution.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A strong acid completely dissociates in solution. While 99.9% ionization is very high, it is not 100% complete dissociation. A weak - acid only partially dissociates, and 99.9% ionization still means it doesn't fully dissociate.

Answer:

B. Weak acid! The acid doesn't completely dissociate.
