A '''strong acid''' is an [[acid]] which completely dissociates (gives up its [[proton]]s) in [[water]]. Some example strong acids include hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hydrobromic acid (HBr). [[Sulfuric acid]] is also a strong acid but it is a special case; it is [[diprotic]], but only the first hydrogen completely dissociates in water.

The highly reactive nature of such acids make them useful in the [[etching]] of materials, particularly metals. Strong acids are also used in tanning.
The [[conjugate base]] for a strong acid is a [[weak base]]. In many cases the conjugate base simply acts as a [[spectator ion]] in a reaction.
