I went to A UA session yesterday where we were given a really useful mneumonic to remember the names of the strong acids.
SO I Brought NO CLean ClOthes.
SO: H2SO4
I: HI
Br: HBr
NO: HNO3
Cl: HCL
ClO: HClO4 and HClO3
I hope it helps!! :))

Re: Strong Acid Names
That's a great mneumonic,. Heads up that HClO3 is also a strong acid; you left that out in the list.

I just saw this!! But I think if it has an OH in there its a strong base. And if it has an N with a lone pair then its weak.
