weak acids/bases.
They do not completely dissociate in water
Organic acids are weak because they do not give OH - ions when dissolved in water.
Weak acids and weak bases partially ionize when dissolved in water unlike strong acids and strong bases that completely ionize when dissolved. Ethanoic acid is a weak acid. At any one time, only about 1% of the ethanoic acid molecules have converted into ions. The rest remain as simple ethanoic acid molecules.
A weak acid is one that doesn't completely dissociate when you put it in water. Weak acids can be very corrosive acids--hydrofluoric acid (call it HF because "hydrofluoric" and "hydrochloric" sound a lot alike) is the most corrosive and dangerous acid going, and it's a weak acid because, thanks to the fluorine atom's extreme reactivity, it doesn't completely dissociate when placed in water.
it acts as a weak acid.
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.
This happens due to the increased solubility in the saturated film and diffusion layer of the salts of weak acids.
Strong acids are acids that dissociate readily from their hydrogen ion(s). Examples include: Strong acids HCl, hydrochloric acid HNO3, nitric acid HI, hydroiodic acid H2SO4, sulfuric acid HBr, hydrobromic acid HClO4, perchloric acid HClO3, chloric acid Weak acids do not dissociate readily from their hydrogen ions. They, therefore, act weakly as an acid. All edible acids are, naturally enough, weak acids. Examples include: Weak acids HCN, hydrocyanic acid (COOH)3C3OH, citric acid tartaric acid, lactic acid, oxalic acid ...
A strong acid ionizes partially in water while a weak acid ionizes fully in water.
Because the conjugate bases are unstable the carboxylic acids are weak acids.
