Q: The strength of an acid depends on how many of which ions it produces when it dissolves in water?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

The strength of an acid depends on how many hydrogen ions it produces when it dissolves in water. A stronger acid produces more hydrogen ions than a weaker acid. For example, sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ), which is found in car batteries, is a strong acid because nearly all of it breaks down into ions when it dissolves in water. On the other hand, acetic acid (CH 3 CO 2 H), which is the acid in vinegar, is a weak acid because less than 1 percent of it breaks down into ions in water.

 Choices:

- silicon

- carbon

- helium

- hydrogen


A:
hydrogen
