An acid in solution sets up this equilibrium:

A hydroxonium ion is formed together with the anion (negative ion) from the acid.
 

Two of the factors which influence the ionisation of an acid are:

  • the strength of the bond being broken,

  • the stability of the ions being formed.

The most important factor in determining the relative acid strengths of these molecules is the nature of the ions formed.
