Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Though all are polar covalent compounds, mineral acids `(HCI, H_(2)SO_(4)`, and `HNO_(3))` are completely ionized into its constituent ions, while acetic acid is only partially ionized `(65%)`. The extent to which ionization occurs depends upon the strength of the bond and the extent of solvation of ions produced.
