Ethanoic acid is a weak acid because
Acids are (most simply) defined by their ability to give/donate H+ ions, a process known as ionization. Ethanoic acid: Of 100 molecules, only 1 or 2 would ionize to give H+ ions in solution.
Dissociation :-
CH3COOH + H2O----------> H30+ + CH3COO-
Reaction with NaOH:-
CH3COOH + NaOH -------> CH3COONa + H2O
