Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A monoprotic strong acid is an acid that can donate only one hydrogen ion (proton)  and completely dissociates in water to produce a high concentration of H+ ions. HCl is a monoprotic strong acid because it dissociates completely in water to produce H+ and Cl- ions. The other options either have multiple hydrogen ions or do not completely dissociate in water.
