strong acid
Fully ionizing solution
A strong acid is one that completely dissociates in water, releasing all its hydrogen ions into solution.
Common examples include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid.
The term contrasts with weak acids like vinegar, which only partially dissociate.
Strong acids are highly corrosive and react vigorously with bases and many metals.
