Is HCO3 a acid?
No, H2CO3 is considered to be a weak acid. In regards to aqueous solutions where H2O3 would be present, weak acids are determined by ones that dissociates into ions.
Is soap an acid or base?
I am not sure but I believe soaps are acids, because liquid soap is an acid.ANS2:Soap is a salt formed from the reaction of sodium hydroxide with steric (octadecanoic) acid, a component of fat. Being the salt of a weak acid, it will function as a pH buffer. To answer your question, it is neither an acid or a base.
Why can concentrated acid be weak acids?
An acid is considered 'weak' or 'strong' regardless of concentration or dilution. An acid's strength is determined by how easily the H+ ions disassociate in an aqueous solution. Strong acids like HCl do this readily, and are considered strong, even when heavily diluted. Organic acids like Citric Acid tend to be 'weak' acids, and are considered 'weak' even when concentrated.
If an acid is splashed on your skin wash it at once with?
plenty of water
Is carbonic acid a strong or weak electrolyte?
yes - carbonic acid is a week acid. eg Ordinary soda- which is carbon di oxide dissolved in water.This is unstable.
Is soap a strong acid or weak acid?
Neither - soap is a base, with a basic - not acidic - pH level.
Is soap a weak acid or strong acid?
Neither - soap is a base, with a basic - not acidic - pH level.
Why is citric acid a weak acid?
Citric acid is considered to be a weak acid.
Is NaCl a weak acid?
No, NaCl is neither an acid, weak acid, or a (weak) base. It is considered a salt.
Why is vinegar considered as a weak acid?
Yes - acetic acid (written as CH3COOH or C2H4O2) in vinegar is considered to be a weak acid.
Is HCO3 a acid?
No, H2CO3 is considered to be a weak acid. In regards to aqueous solutions where H2O3 would be present, weak acids are determined by ones that dissociates into ions.
Does soap contain a weak acid or a strong alkali?
A soap contains a strong alkali,because it produces OH- ions in the water.
Is is soap solution strong or weak acid?
its an alkali, the other side of the pH scale you numpty;)
