A branch of chemistry that quantitatively relates amounts of elements and compounds involved in chemical reactions, based on the law of conservation of mass and the law of definite proportions . Compare with weak acid . A strong acid is an acid that completely dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions in solution. Strong acids are strong electrolytes . A strong base is an base that completely dissociates into ions in solution.
Strong bases are strong electrolytes .
The most common strong bases are alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hydroxides. Compare with weak electrolyte . A strong electrolyte is a solute that completely dissociates into ions in solution. Solutions of strong electrolytes conduct electricity. Most soluble ionic compounds are strong electrolytes.
