Examples for weak acid and weak base?

Answer 1

Acetic acid:

CH3CO2H + H2O <<----> H3O+ + CH3CO2-

The equilibrium is far more on the left side (<<--), less than 1% is protolised as acid (righthand reaction -->) so it is a weak acid.
Ethanoic Acid is an example of a weak acid, most orgainic acids are weak acids.

Answer 2

Weak Acids: (See links)

acetic acid,

carbonic acid,

citric acid,

formic acid,

lactic acid,

oxalic acid,

phosphorous acid,

phosphoric acid,

tartaric acid,

Weak Bases: (See links)

alanine,

ammonia,

dimethylamine,

ethylamine,

glycine,

Answer 3

Some common weak acids are:

Acid Formula

Formic Acid = HCOOH

Acetic Acid = CH3COOH

Trichloroacetic Acid = CCl3COOH

Hydrofluoric Acid =HF

Hydrocyanic Acid = HCN

Hydrogen sulfide Acid = H2S

Water = H2O

Conjugate acids of weak bases = NH4+

Answer 4

• some exs of weak acids are bananas, tomato, black coffee, milk, grapefruit, orange juice, and vinegar

Answer 5

Carbonic acid (water and carbon dioxide) is a weak acid as is ethanoic (acetic) acid (constituent of vinegar). Ammonia is a weak base as are most amines such as triethanolamine.

Answer 6

Examples of a weak acid are lemon juice, an orange, and soda pop

Answer 7

weak acid = ethanoic acid weak base = ammonia

Answer 8

Hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid and nitric acid

Answer 9

A weak acid example is acetic acid (CH3COOH), found in vinegar. A weak base example is ammonia (NH3), which is a common household cleaner.
