Strong acids and strong bases

[Josephine Lu 4L]

Are strong acids and strong bases always completely ionized in water?

[Tony Ong 3K]

yes, they always completely dissociate

[Alexandra Albers 1D]

In class, I believe Dr. Lavelle said that they truly only come very close to complete ionization, but for the purposes of this course we will say that they are ionized 100%.

[Lasya Gudipudi 1A]

Yeah in lecture, he stated that strong acids and bases are completely ionized in water and weak acids and weak bases are not. So, for the scope of this class, you can say 100% dissociated.

[JT Wechsler 2B]

For this course, we assume that strong acids and bases completely ionize in water for calculations.

[Carlos Gomez 3H]

I believe the book refers to this as completely deprotonated as well.
