Does all of the acetic acids dissociate after the reaction reaches equilibrium?
No. Acetic acid is a weak acid. It only partially dissociates.
Sodium Bicarbonate Acetic Acid?
sodium bicarbonate reacts with acetic acid to form sodium acetate and carbonic acid. carbonic acid will further dissociate to form water and carbon dioxide
What is an acid that does not dissociate 100 percent of its ions?
Theoritically, there exists no acid that can fully dissociate into ions in aqueous medium. Though, for practical purposes, it is often assumed that strong acids such as nitric acid, hydrochloric acid etc. are fully dissociated. Other than these few strong acids, all other acids partially dissociate, a common example is acetic acid.
What do weak acids have in common?
They do not fully dissociate in water. They have small pKa thus and even smaller Ka. An example can be acetic acid.
How many ionisable hydrogen atoms are there in acetic acid?
There is one ionizable hydrogen atom in acetic acid. This hydrogen atom is located on the carboxyl group (COOH) of the molecule and can dissociate to form a hydrogen ion (H+) in solution.

Would the pH for C2H3O2 be higher than HCL?
Yes, HCl is a strong acid that completely dissociate and acetic acid is not

Is concentrated sulfuric acid stronger than acetic acid?
Concentrated sulfuric acid is stronger and more acidic than an equal concentration of acetic acid.Sulfuric acid is considered a strong acid because it dissociates completely in water, whereas acetic acid is considered a weak acid because it does not dissociate completely in water.See the Related Questions link to the left for more information about strong and weak acids.
Would sodium hydroxide and white vinegar combined make a better electrolyte than individually?
no, it will not be a good electrolyte as vinegar (acetic acid) is a weak acid and will not dissociate fast.
Does hydrogen acetate dissociate?
Yes, hydrogen acetate, more commonly called acetic acid, partially dissociates in water and is therefore a weak acid. It is what gives vinegar its smell and acidity.
Is acetic acid anything like acetic acid?
Yes. Acetic acid is a lot like acetic acid.
Does a weak acid partly dissociate in a solution?
Yes, we generally consider any acid that is weaker than the hydronium ion, H3O+ (the strongest acid that can exist in water) it does not dissociate fully. For example: If we put HF, a weak acid, in water, it will exist in equilibrium with the hydronium ion. HF + H2O <<---> F- + H3O+ With equilibria like this, we have two acids that are trying to protonate each other's respective conjugate base- the stronger acid will win. Because the hydronium ion is a stronger acid than hydrofluoric acid, it will more easily protonate fluoride than HF protonates water. Therefore we have a good amount of undissociated HF (our weak acid).
Why is acetic acid weaker than nitric acid?
Acidity depends how much the acid dissociates into ions, a stronger acid dissociates more. For acetic acid: CH3COH --> CH3CO- + H+ There are still hydrogen atoms bonded to the molecule, so the acid doesn't dissociate completely, and is therefore a weak acid. Nitric acid: HNO3 --> H+ + NO3- The acid has completely dissociated into ions and is therefore a strong acid.
