Question

Which statement best describes a weak acid?

A. An acid in a dilute solution
B. An acid that dissociates completely in solution
C. An acid in a concentrated solution
D. An acid that dissociates only slightly in solution

Answer 1

D. An acid that dissociates only slightly in solution

Answer 2

D. An acid that dissociates only slightly in solution

Step-by-step explanation:

A weak acid is an acid that is slightly dissociated into its ions in a solution. At similar concentration, weak acids have higher pH value than strong acids.

Examples of weak acids includes acetic acid, hydrogen sulfide, formic acid,

hydrofluoric acid etc.
