strong acid added to water

Answer 1

The correct response is:

**strong acid added to water**

When a strong acid is added to water, it dissociates completely into its ions, making the reaction effectively irreversible under typical conditions. Weak acids and weak bases partially dissociate in water, establishing an equilibrium that can shift back and forth.
