Explanation:
A weak acid is one which doesn't ionise fully when it is dissolved in water. Ethanoic acid is a typical weak acid. It reacts with water to produce hydroxonium ions and ethanoate ions, but the back reaction is more successful than the forward one.

An acid which produces less amount of H₃O+ ions in aqueous medium are called weak acids.
