Identifying a Strong Acid

Very Easy General Chemistry Acids And Bases

In chemistry, acids and bases are fundamental concepts that describe the behavior and properties of various substances. An acid is typically defined as a substance that can donate a proton (H+), while a base is a substance that can accept a proton. The strength of an acid or base can be measured by its pH value, where a lower pH indicates a stronger acid, and a higher pH indicates a stronger base.

Consider the following solutions at room temperature: HCl (hydrochloric acid), NaOH (sodium hydroxide), water, and NH3 (ammonia). Which of these solutions would be classified as a strong acid?
