In water each of these essentially ionizes 100%. The stronger an acid is‚ the more easily it loses a proton‚ H+. Two key factors that contribute to the ease of deprotonation are the polarity of the H—A bond and the size of atom A‚ which determines the strength of the H—A bond. Acid strengths are also often discussed in terms of the stability of the conjugate base. Sulfonic acids‚ which are organic oxyacids‚ are a class of strong acids. A common example is toluenesulfonic acid (tosylic acid). Unlike
