Some of the properties of strong and weak acids are different. All statements below are properties of weak acids except for:
a. Weak acids dissociate only slightly in water
b. Weak acids dissociate completely if the pH is raised
c. Weak acids have a pKa
d. Weak acids can serve as buffers
E. Weak acids dissociate completely at an pH
Some of the properties of strong and weak acids are different. All statements below are properties of weak acids except for:
b. Weak acids dissociate completely if the pH is raised
E. Weak acids dissociate completely at an pH
Generally, weak acids dissociates only slightly in water.
weak acids have a pKa,
weak acids and their salt with strong base acts as buffer solution.
