This means that when a strong acid is dissolved in water, it dissociates entirely into its ions, resulting in a high concentration of hydronium ions (H₃O⁺). ### Step 2: Define Weak Acids Weak acids, on the other hand, only partially ionize in aqueous solution. This means that when a weak acid is dissolved in water, it does not completely dissociate into ions, resulting in a lower concentration of hydronium ions compared to strong acids. ...
