Other groups can also confer acidity, usually weakly: the thiol group -SH, the enol group, and the phenol group. In biological systems, organic compounds containing these groups are generally referred to as organic acids.

Is C2H4O2 weak or strong?

it is a non electrolyte C2H5OH is not a base, its an alcohol, ETHYL ALCOHOL so its just an alcohol


Are organic acid weak or strong?

Organic acids are generally weak acids. They do not fully dissociate in water, resulting in a reversible reaction that generates both the acid and its conjugate base. This characteristic distinguishes them from strong acids that completely dissociate in water.


Is ascorbic acid strong?

No, like other organic acids it is weak.


Does citric acid have a strong electrolyte conductivity?

Citric acid is a weak organic acid and therefore has a weak electrolyte conductivity compared to strong acids like hydrochloric acid. In aqueous solution, citric acid partially dissociates into ions, contributing to its conductivity.


Are organic acids strong or weak why?

Organic acids can be either strong or weak, depending on their chemical structure. Strong organic acids, such as sulfuric acid, completely dissociate in water to produce a high concentration of hydrogen ions. Weak organic acids, like acetic acid, only partially dissociate in water, resulting in a lower concentration of hydrogen ions.


Is acetic acid a strong acid or a weak acid?

Acetic acid is a weak acid. It only partially dissociates in water to release hydrogen ions, resulting in a lower concentration of free protons compared to strong acids like hydrochloric acid.

Is hc2h3o2 a strong or weak acid?

Acetic acid (HC2H3O2) is considered a weak acid. In solution, it only partially dissociates into its ions, resulting in a small concentration of hydrogen ions. This is in contrast to strong acids like hydrochloric acid, which completely dissociate into ions in solution.
