number of H+ released by an acid
B
number of OH- released by an acid
C
extent of ionization of an acid
D

Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
The terms "strong" and "weak" acids refer to the extent to which an acid ionizes in a solution:
- Strong acids: Ionize almost completely in water, dissociating nearly 100% into H+ and the corresponding anion.
- Weak acids: Ionize only partially in water, typically less than 10%.
