Which list contains ONLY strong acids?
A.HCl, HF, HNO₂
B.HCl, HBr, HI
C.HNO₃, H₂SO₃, HCl
D.HI, HNO₂, CH₃COOH
Explanation
Core Concept
The common strong acids are HCl, HBr, HI, HNO₃, HClO₄, HClO₃, and the first proton of H₂SO₄. Only the list pairing HCl with HBr and HI draws entirely from that set. Each member ionizes essentially completely, so [H₃O⁺] matches the formal acid concentration.
Correct Answer
BHCl, HBr, HI
