Carbon dioxide (CO2) mixes with water to make a weak carbonic acid
If you are titrating a base, using a weak acid as titrant would lead to the formation of a buffer as you added the weak acid. The weak acid would react with the base to form the salt of the weak acid + water, and this would buffer any changes in pH, thus making the titration meaningless.
Rainwater is normally acidic because the carbon dioxide in the air which mixes with rainwater to form weak acid. That's why its acidic ^_^ Rainwater is also because of the pollutions in the air and it mixes with the water so its not good. meee!
Dissolved carbon dioxide in water (carbonic acid) is weak acid.
A weak acid.
A strong acid dissociates more fully than a weak
A weak acid called Carbonic Acid form. Fun Fact: This is the same weak acid that is found in many soft drinks.
A strong acid dissociates more or less completely in water; a weak acid exists partially in dissociated form and partly in molecular form.
No. A weak acid is an acid that only partially dissociates in water. A dilute acid is a solution in which an acid, weak or strong, exists in a low concentration in water.

Weak acid
It is a weak acid as it does not ionise completely when mixed with water.
Rainwater is normally acidic because the carbon dioxide in the air which mixes with rainwater to form weak acid. That's why its acidic ^_^ Rainwater is also because of the pollutions in the air and it mixes with the water so its not good. meee!
A strong acid (1 or 2 pH) A weak base ( 8 or 9 pH) The mixture would still be acidic but not as much.
weak acid
Bromine itself is not considered an acid. However, it can react with water to a small degree to form hydrobromic acid (HBr), a strong acid and hypobromous acid (HBrO) a weak acid. Br2 + H2O --> HBr + HBrO
no, a dilute acid is any acid, strong or weak, that is in a low concentration. a weak acid ionizes to a small degree in water.
Acetic acid is a weak acid because, like all other weak acids, it only disassociates partially in water (also known as incomplete ionisation).
