• HCl
• H₂O
• H₃O⁺
• Cl^-

Which one of the following statements about strong acids is TRUE?

• Strong acids are 100% ionized in water.
• The conjugate base of a strong acid is a strong base.
• Strong acids are very concentrated acids.
• Strong acids produce solutions with a higher pH than weak acids. 

What is the endpoint of a titration

• Where the amount of acid and base are equal as shown by a colour change 
• Where there is no base
• When the volume of base in the burette is used up 
• When there is no acid

The pH at the equivalence point of the titration of a strong acid with a strong base is usually:

• acidic 3.9
• acidic 4.5
• neutral 7.0
• basic 8.2
