An element is not an acid. An acid is weak when it dissociates to a very small extent. If u have a certain solution of that acid, check if the concentration of the acid itself is close to that of the solution. If they r the same, it is very strong and dissociates completely.

Is CHOOH a weak acid or a weak base?
The formic acid is a weak acid.
Why is citric acid a weak acid?
Citric acid is considered to be a weak acid.
What combinations of compounds will make a buffer when mixed?
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
Is oxalic acid weak or strong?
Oxalic acid is a relatively strong weak acid. It has pKa1=1.27 and pKa2=4.28.
How you classify the solution as a best buffer solution?
A buffer solution is one involving a weak base/weak acid with its conjugate acid/base. In a buffer solution, the pH must be changed to only a small amount. Thus, any solution with a STRONG acid or a STRONG base is not a successful buffer solution because there would be a relatively large change in the initial pH.
What are some scenarios for a substance being classified as a weak acid?
A way to classify an acid as being weak is to determine how strongly the substance conducts electricity. If the acid or base conducts electricity strongly, it is a strong acid or base. If the acid or base conducts electricity weakly, it is a weak acid or base.
How do you classify acids into strong acids and weak acids?
A strong acid is an acid which completely dissociates (this means that it breaks up into a hydrogen cation and some anion) in water. All other acids are considered weak.
Is CHOOH a weak acid or a weak base?
The formic acid is a weak acid.
Is H2CO3 a weak acid or strong?
H2CO3 Carbonic acid is a weak acid because it does not dissociate completely in solution making it a weak electrolyte.
Is chloroacetic acid a weak or a strong acid?
It is a weak acid.
Is citrus acid a weak acid?
Yes it is a weak acid
Acetic acid- strong acid or weak acid?
Weak.
Is phosphoric acid strong or weak acid?
it is weak acid :)
A solution containing either a weak acid or a weak acid its saltor a weak base and its salt?
A solution containing either a weak acid or a weak acid its saltor a weak base and its salt?
Why is citric acid a weak acid?
Citric acid is considered to be a weak acid.
Is boric acid a weak acid?
yes, boric acid is a weak acid
Is HSO4- a weak acid?
no it is a strong acid
