Answer:
Acetic acid, in the presence of conc. H₂SO₄ behaves as a weak base.
Explanation:
Acetic acid is a weak acid. Sulphuric acid is a strong acid. When concentrated, it is an even stronger acid. Thus, in the presence of conc. H₂SO₄, acetic acid gets converted into a weak base by losing its acidity comparatively easily.
This occurs due to the necessity to neutralize the reaction and mildly decrease the acidity of the solution.
