Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding Strong and Weak Acids

Strong acids completely dissociate in water, meaning they break apart into their ions. Weak acids only partially dissociate, so both the acid and its ions are present in solution.

Step 2: Analyzing Strong Acids

For strong acids, the primary species present in solution are the ions resulting from complete dissociation.

  • HBrO\(_3\): As a strong acid, it dissociates completely into \(\text{H}^+\) and \(\text{BrO}_3^-\).
  • HBr: As a strong acid, it dissociates completely into \(\text{H}^+\) and \(\text{Br}^-\).
Step 3: Analyzing Weak Acids

For weak acids, both the undissociated acid and the ions from partial dissociation are present.

  • H\(_3\)PO\(_4\): As a weak acid, it partially dissociates. The species present are \(\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4\), \(\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^-\), and \(\text{H}^+\).
  • HNO\(_2\): As a weak acid, it partially dissociates. The species present are \(\text{HNO}_2\), \(\text{NO}_2^-\), and \(\text{H}^+\).

Final Answer

\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline \text{acid} & \text{strong or weak?} & \text{species present at } 10^{-6} \text{ mol/L or greater} \\ \hline \mathrm{HBrO}_{3} & \text{strong} & \boxed{\text{H}^+, \text{BrO}_3^-} \\ \hline \mathrm{HBr} & \text{strong} & \boxed{\text{H}^+, \text{Br}^-} \\ \hline \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4} & \text{weak} & \boxed{\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4, \text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^-, \text{H}^+} \\ \hline \mathrm{HNO}_{2} & \text{weak} & \boxed{\text{HNO}_2, \text{NO}_2^-, \text{H}^+} \\ \hline \end{array} \]
