Discriminate between strong and weak acids and bases in terms of the extent of dissociation, rate of reaction, pH and electrical conductivity.

Two solutions of equal volume and equal molar concentration are prepared: one containing hydrochloric acid (HCl) and one containing acetic acid (CH₃COOH). Which statement correctly discriminates between these two acids?

Two solutions, each with a concentration of 0.1 mol/L, are prepared at 298 K: Solution A contains hydrochloric acid (HCl) and Solution B contains ethanoic acid (CH₃COOH). Both acids are completely mixed with water. (a) Classify each acid as strong or weak. (b) Explain your classification in terms of the extent of ionisation.

A student compares two acid solutions, each with the same initial concentration. Solution X dissociates completely in water, whilst Solution Y establishes an equilibrium with only 2.8% of the acid molecules ionised. Which statement correctly discriminates between these two acids?
