Concentration of the acid

The concentration of Hydrogen (H+ ions) governs the strength of an acid. Acids are measured on a PH Scale of 1-14. 1 to 6 is acid. 1 is the strongest acid (contains the most hydrogen ions) 6 is a weak acid (contains a smaller amount of H+ ions). 7 is neutral and 8-14 are alkalies (bases OH- ions).
The Higher the concentration of hydrogen ions the lower the PH and the stronger acid. Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is an example of a strong Acid. The PH scale is logarithmic. A decrease in PH represents a ten fold increase in H+ ions.

could be ion donor or hydrogen related...you need to read a chemistry book...too much data to be relayed here

Much like a good woman...how fast it will eat through your pants.
