Question:
Which of the following solutions is a weak acid?
a. 0.1 M {eq}HCl {/eq}
b. 0.1 M {eq}HC_2H_3O_2 {/eq}
c. 0.1 M {eq}NaOH {/eq}
d. 0.1 M {eq}NH_3 {/eq}
Properties of Weak Acids:
Weak acids are defined by a low extent of ionization when dissolved in water. The lower ion concentrations result in weak acids having slower reaction rates, lower conductivity and higher pH values compared to equimolar solutions of strong acids.
