hydrobromic acid

• strong acid

• weak acid

• strong base

• weak base

Answer explanation

Hydrobromic acid is a strong acid because it completely dissociates in water to form H+ ions and Br- ions, making it a good conductor of electricity.

acetic acid

• strong acid

• weak acid

• strong base

• weak base

Answer explanation

Acetic acid is a weak acid because it only partially dissociates in water, releasing few hydrogen ions.

cesium hydroxide

• strong acid

• weak acid

• strong base

• weak base

Answer explanation

Cesium hydroxide is a strong base due to its ability to fully dissociate in water to release hydroxide ions, making it highly reactive and capable of neutralizing acids.
