[edit] Strong acid? Weak acid?

The equation indicates complete dissociation but this could be out of ignorance of the writer rather than truth. I will make the change on all related pages once i get an awnser.Kyanite 22:29, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Relevant quotes from DOI:10.1021/cr60234a003: "Solutions of Xe(VI) are nonconducting, indicating that XeO₃ exists in solution as an undissociated species... Xe(VI) solutions are very weak acids. In strong base the predominant VI species has been postulated to be HXeO₄^–, although this species may possibly be hydrated." —Keenan Pepper 02:38, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
