Which of the following is the primary contributing factor in determining the strength of an acid? (1 point)
the number of h+ ions in the formula
whether the acid is monoprotic, diprotic, or triprotic
the number of atoms that are bonded in the anion
the amount of ionization that occurs in solution

The amount of ionization in solution.

Explanation:

Strong acids ionize fully in solution to release a large number of hydrogen ions responsible for the acidic properties. On the contrary weak acids ionize partially in solution.

In strong acids less energy is required to break the hydrogen- anion bonds.

the amount of ionization that occurs in solution

Explanation:

An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions, H₃0⁺ in an aqueous solution.

The ionization of acids in solution determines the strength of the acid.

A strong acid is one that ionizes almost completely in solutions and a weak acid is one that ionizes slightly and sets up an equilibrium.

             HCl + H₂0 → H₃0⁺ + Cl⁻ this is the ionization of strong acid

            CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇄  H₃0⁺ + CH₃COO⁻ ionization of a weak acid

i believe the answer is c. "baking" is the gerund, while "baking blueberry muffins" would be the gerund phrase. hope this ! : )
