Why do we use a double arrow in the dissociation equation for a weak acid answer?
Zepler [3.9K]
Answer is: because weak acids do not dissociate completely.

The strength of an Arrhenius acid determines percentage of ionization of acid and the number of H⁺ ions formed. <span>
Strong acids completely ionize in water and give large amount ofhydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), so we use only one arrow, because reaction goes in one direction and there no molecules of acid in solution.

For example hydrochloric acid: HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

<span> Weak acid partially ionize in water and give only a few hydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), in the solution there molecules of acid and ions.

For example cyanide acid: HCN(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq).
