Question

What are weak acids? Give example!

Answer 1

$\huge\bf\pink{{\mid{\overline{\underline{WEAK\:ACID}}}\mid}}$

A weak acid is one that does not dissociate completely in solution; this means that a weak acid does not donate all of its hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution.

▪The majority of acids are weak.

▫Weak acids ionize in a water solution only to a very moderate extent.

▪The Ka of weak acids varies between 1.8×10−16 and 55.5.

▫Although it is only a weak acid, a concentrated enough solution of acetic acid can still be quite acidic.

Examples of weak acids include :-

• Formic acid (HCOOH)
• Acetic acid (CH3COOH)
• Hydrocyanic acid (HCN)
• Water (H2O)
