The diagram below shows different soil regions around the world. Image courtesy of USDA The map shows that different regions of the world have different soil types. Which of the following is most likely true? A. The soil type of a region depends only on the distance of that region from the ocean. B. The soil type of a region depends on the type of geologic processes that occur there and the rate at which they occur. C. The geologic processes that result in soil occur at the same time and at the same rate in every region of the world. D. All types of vegetation are able to grow equally well in all soil types around the world.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
