Identify the definition of a strong acid: A strong acid is one that completely ionizes in aqueous solution, meaning it dissociates completely into its ions.
Examine the given compounds: Water (H2O), Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Acetic acid (CH3COOH), and Ammonia (NH3).
Consider the ionization behavior of each compound in water: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is known to completely ionize, releasing H⁺ ions and Cl⁻ ions.
Compare the ionization of acetic acid (CH3COOH) and ammonia (NH3): Acetic acid is a weak acid, partially ionizing in solution, while ammonia is a weak base, not an acid.
Conclude that Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is the strong acid among the given options, as it fully dissociates in aqueous solution.
