The student's conclusion that the acid is strong based solely on the fact that it completely dissolved in water is not a valid conclusion. The solubility of a substance does not necessarily indicate its strength as an acid.
Acid strength refers to the extent to which an acid can donate protons (H+) in an aqueous solution. Strong acids are those that completely ionize in water, meaning they dissociate fully into H+ ions and anions. Weak acids, on the other hand, only partially ionize in water, resulting in a lower concentration of H+ ions.
The fact that the acid dissolved completely in water simply indicates that it is soluble in water. Solubility is a property related to the ability of a substance to form a homogeneous mixture with a solvent, in this case, water. It does not provide direct information about the strength or concentration of the acid.
To determine the strength of an acid, one would need to perform additional tests or measurements, such as measuring the pH of the resulting solution or conducting acid-base titration experiments.
