Answer 2

What do you think?

Answer 3

I'm kinda thinking A

Answer 4

This is a kinda tricky one, since in a strong acid, all of the acid molecules ionize.

Answer 5

But in a weak acid only some of the acid molecules ionize.

Answer 6

So, weak acids actually have more unionized acid molecules. Since strong acids don't have any unionized acid molecules...

Answer 7

So, would it acutaly be B?

Answer 8
