Are acidic solutions good or poor conductors of electricity?
Strong acids in solution are better conductors than weak acids in solution, and both are better than pure water.
Why are weak acids and weak bases poor electrical conductors?
They only give free very small amounts of H+ (from acid) or OH- (from base anions).
Why are Carboxylic acids considered weak acids?
Because the conjugate bases are unstable the carboxylic acids are weak acids.
Are organic acid weak or strong?
True organic acids are weak acids but alpha substituted acids may be strong as 'trichloric acetic acid is a very strong acid.
How are acids and basis classified as strong or weak?
According to their dissociation.Strong acids dissociate completely,weak acids partially.

Are the the acids and proteins found in DNA weak or strong?
Weak Acids
What is true about weak acids as compared to strong acids?
Weak acids have a larger value of pKa than strong acids
