Acids, Bases and Salts — Science STD 10 — Question

Acetic acid is weak acid becoz it produces less hydrogen ions and ammonia is weak base becoz it produces less OH ions

Explanation:

If an acid which is less than 100% ionizes in solution is known as weak acid.

For example: If a base which is less than 100% ionizes in solution is known as weak base.

For example: Acetic acid is dissociates into ions but it does not ionize 100% therefore it is considered as weak acid.

Ammonia dissociates into ions but it does not ionize 100% therefore it is considered as weak base.
