Acetic acid:
CH3CO2H + H2O <<----> H3O+ + CH3CO2-
The equilibrium is far more on the left side (<<--), less than 1% is protolised as acid (righthand reaction -->) so it is a weak acid.
Ethanoic Acid is an example of a weak acid, most orgainic acids are weak acids.
Weak Acids: (See links)
acetic acid,
carbonic acid,
citric acid,
formic acid,
lactic acid,
oxalic acid,
phosphorous acid,
phosphoric acid,
tartaric acid,
Weak Bases: (See links)
alanine,
ammonia,
dimethylamine,
ethylamine,
glycine,
Some common weak acids are:
Acid Formula
Formic Acid = HCOOH
Acetic Acid = CH3COOH
Trichloroacetic Acid = CCl3COOH
Hydrofluoric Acid =HF
Hydrocyanic Acid = HCN
Hydrogen sulfide Acid = H2S
Water = H2O
Conjugate acids of weak bases = NH4+
Carbonic acid (water and carbon dioxide) is a weak acid as is ethanoic (acetic) acid (constituent of vinegar). Ammonia is a weak base as are most amines such as triethanolamine.
Examples of a weak acid are lemon juice, an orange, and soda pop
weak acid = ethanoic acid weak base = ammonia
Hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid and nitric acid
A solution containing either a weak acid or a weak acid its saltor a weak base and its salt?
Yes and no. HCN is a salt, but it is also a weak acid.
The conjugate base of a weak acid is always a strong base
NaHCO3 is a weak base, with a conjugate acid of H2CO3+.
Buffer solution is a type of solution which contains acid and at the same time a base material. The two components are a weak acid and a conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.
In order to have an effective buffer, one needs to have a weak acid or a weak base, and the salt (conjugate) of that weak acid or weak base. Examples would be :weak acid/conjugate base: acetic acid/sodium acetateweak base/conjugate acid: ammonia/ammonium chloride
The formic acid is a weak acid.
A solution containing either a weak acid or a weak acid its saltor a weak base and its salt?
Yes and no. HCN is a salt, but it is also a weak acid.
The conjugate base of a weak acid is always a strong base
NaHCO3 is a weak base, with a conjugate acid of H2CO3+.
Buffer solution is a type of solution which contains acid and at the same time a base material. The two components are a weak acid and a conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.
CoCO3 (Cobalt II carbonate) would be a weak base.
CH3COOH is a acid. It is a weak acid.
it is a non electrolyte C2H5OH is not a base, its an alcohol, ETHYL ALCOHOL so its just an alcohol
No, NaCl is neither an acid, weak acid, or a (weak) base. It is considered a salt.
It is a very weak base. not acid
