Why is Ka an important value in chemistry?
For a weak acid, the value of Ka gives one an indication of the degree to which that weak acid will dissociate. This then gives one an idea of the acidity of that weak acid, and it can be easily compared to other weak acids.
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.
Is citric acid present in plants?
Citric acid does not affect plant growth in plants unless it is applied in large quantities. Citric acid will, however, burn through seeds and halt the germination process.
What happens of the equilibrium of a weak acid dissociation reaction were upset?
The reaction would shift to balance the change
Difference between free acidity and total acidity in gastric juice?
Gastric juice consists of hydrochloric acid, a strong acid along with many weak acids. Free acidity is a measure of acidity of hydrochloric acid alone but total acidity is a measure of combined acidity due to hydrochloric acid and many weak acids (organic acids and proteins).
Why is Ka an important value in chemistry?

What is different about what happens to a weak acid molecule and what happens to a strong acid molecule?
A strong acid is totally dissociated in water; a weak acid is only partially dissociated in water.
What happens when a weak acid and a strong base combine?
you get an acid.
What would you do to counteract the acidity or alkalinity?
To counteract acidity you add alkaline. To counteract alkalinity you add acid. It depends on what type of item you are dealing with. If you are around people, you would use a weak alkaline like baking soda. You would use a weak acid like vinegar.
If you have a solution of a strong acid and a solution of a weak acid of equal concentration and volume then what happens?
The weak acid becomes in unionized form
A strong acid has a pH of what?
generally 1 or 2. the lower the pH the more acidic. please specify what acid you are asking about to determine if it is a strong acid or not. acidity is based (pun not intended) on the amount of hydrogen ions in the solution. so a solution of HF (which is a weak acid) could have a high concentration leaving it with a high acidity (or low pH). there are cases where more complex solutions, whom which are strong acids, to have a lower acidity (or higher pH) than a weak acid.
Is hydrofluoric acid a weak acid?
It should be noted that as the acid becomes more concentrated (approaches 100%), the acidity increases dramatically.Even in its more dilute state the acid can be very toxic another possible interpretation of "strong"
Is potassium acetate a salt or a weak or strong acid bases?
Potassium Acetate (CH3COOK) is a salt of a weak acid (Acetic Acid (CH3COOH)
Name 2 weak acids?
There are many kinds of weak acid that a have pH close to neutral. Perhaps the most common weak acid is household vinegar.
What is the difference between fexofenadine hcl and fexofenadine?
Fexofenadine is an amphoteric which have basicity and acidity action (tertiary amine (aromatic amine) is a weak base while carboxylic acid is weak acid) Fexofenadine HCl is designed to be water soluble
What would you expect a solution of a salt of weak base and strong acid like ammonium chloride to be in terms of acidity - basicity?
Moderately acidic.
