5:31 ← Can you explain why A. is a weak acid here? Expert Answer Step1 a) Acidity of a acid depends on how much H+ ions it produces after dissolving in water. Step2 b) Among the following HNO3 completely dissociates in water. So it is a strong acid. But H3PO4 is a weak acid. Because it partially dissociates in water and produces small amount of H+ ions. Lower is the hydrogen ion concentration lower is the acidity. pKa value of H3PO4 is around 2.4. pKa value of a strong acid is below zero. The lower the pKa the stronger is the acid.
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
