Question
Which of the following is a characteristic of a weak acid?A.It is not as dangerous as a strong acid.B.It is less concentrated than a strong acid.C.It does not dissociate completely in water.D.It does not conduct electricity in water.
Solution
The correct answer is C. A characteristic of a weak acid is that it does not dissociate completely in water. This means that in a solution, a weak acid will exist partly as molecules and partly as ions, unlike a strong acid which will fully dissociate into ions. This is not related to the concentration of the acid or its danger level, and weak acids can still conduct electricity in water due to the presence of ions.
