Completely ionize acids in water are :

  • A.HCl and HNO\(_{3}\)
  • B.HCl and H\(_{2}\)CO\(_{3}\)
  • C.HNO\(_{3}\) and CH\(_{3}\)COOH
  • D.H\(_{2}\)CO\(_{3}\) and CH\(_{3}\)COOH

Answer: A

The completely ionizing acids are HCl and HNO\(_{3}\).

Hydrochloric acid and nitric acid are strong acids: in dilute aqueous solution practically every molecule gives up its proton, so they ionize completely.

Carbonic acid (H2CO3) and acetic acid (CH3COOH) are weak acids that ionize only slightly; a 0.1 M acetic acid solution is about 1 per cent ionized. Every other option pairs at least one of these weak acids, so only option A contains two acids that ionize completely.
