Is their a complex acid that can not be broken down by H20?

what the hell are you talkin about

no, its propanoic acid - able to form h-bonds with water molecules and become dissolved.  propanal can also form h-bonds, but since propanoic acid has some delocalised electrons, attraction is greater.

i juss know ....H + O2 = h20

In these sorts of problems, you just need to keep your eye on H+, the hydrogen ion. An acid is anything that can be a source of H+ and a base is anything that can accept  an H+. \n\nBut once a base has gotten that H+, what do you call it then? It could possibly give that H+ back - so it is sort of like an acid at that point, since things that can give up an H+ are acids.  Well, chemists don't like saying "sort-of like", so it's called a "conjugate acid". Likewise, the molecule that gave up that H+ originally (the acid), could possibly take one back. So it's sort-of like a base after it has lost the H+, again, invoking the "sort-of like" naming rule again, it's called a "conjugate base."\n\nYou end up with what are called conjugate acid - base pairs. Say you put an acid in solution. If it gives up it's H+ it is now a conjugate base. So the acid and its conjugate base are called a pair.

H20 is hydrogen that has already burned. It can't burn a second time.  When burn hydrogen, the "ashes" is water. \n\nThere are two ways water puts out fires. One, it turns to steam which blocks out the oxygen the fire needs to burn. Two, in turning to steam, water absorbs a tremendous amount of heat. That cools the burning materials to a temperature below their flash point so the stop burning.

An acid is a substance which is capable of forming hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.

No.  There are plenty - sugar is a good example - no dissociation, but nicely polar and highly soluble in water.

In the late 1800s, the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius proposed that water can dissolve many compounds by separating them into their individual ions. Arrhenius suggested that acids are compounds that contain hydrogen and can dissolve in water to release hydrogen ions into solution.\nBases have the ability to do the opposite and take the hydrogen ion and bond it to the base molecule in a solution of water. \n\nTo sum it up, what they have in common are the ability to be in a solution of water. Acids donate a hydrogen ion and bases accept hydrogen ions.

I think this question is incomplete because the Ka of HF hasn't been provided.  The amount of H+ that is formed from HF can only be calculated from its Ka value.

No, the human stomach has a pH of around 2. Stomach acid is a solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl). \n\nHF (hydrofluoric acid) is NOT a strong acid. Sure, it's extremely corrosive, but a true STRONG acid is defined as one that dissociates completely in solution. HF does not dissociate completely.\n\nHCl *does* dissociate completely into H+ and Cl- ions in aqueous solution. In highly concentrated solutions of strong acids like HCl (or nitric acid, perchloric acid, phosphoric acid, bromic acid or iodic acid), you can actually attain NEGATIVE pH. That's extremely acidic.\n\nOh, and if you were wondering why the stomach doesn't corrode itself under healthy conditions... The stomach lining secretes a THICK layer of mucus. That mucus is laced with sodium bicarbonate (a weak base). Sodium bicarbonate acts as a buffer to gently neutralize the acid in the stomach.

No. It is not possible for the following reasons...\n1) Water is a compound, so it can only have molecules adn not atoms.\n2) The only atoms that you will get when you break down a water molecule are two atoms of hyderogen and one of oxygen\n3) What we get thru electric lines is only electrical energy. This is transferred by the vibration of the atoms in the cables used to supply electricity. So no atoms are actually sent accross\n4) Even if all these were possible, the procedure will be extremely expensive.

Sulphuric acid is a strong oxidizing agent and does not complex ions easily. It thus is a wonderful reagent to activate ions for study.

This acid solution is so strong that they could only \nmeasure a 50% solution.  Just to give you an idea of how strong a 50% solution \nis, it would be equivalent to an acid 1018 times stronger than concentrated \nsulfuric acid!!  Pretty strong huh?\n\n   By the way, this acid is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the \nstrongest acid known.\n\n   Thanks for the question Nathan...\n\nTye

In strongly acidic solutions, anions which are strong bases cannot be present to a great extent. These would include OH- or CH3COO-.\n\nIf the solution also contains silver ions, the halide ions (Cl-, Br- and I-) could not be there as well, because they would precipitate out with the silver.
