List 3 scenarios for a substance being classified as a weak acid
2 answers:
Answer:
3 scenarios:
1. acetic acid, organic acid that comes from vinager
2. citric acid, that is present in some fruits
3. phosphoric acid , present in sodas
Explanation:
A weak acid is the one that partially transferres its proton (H+) to a water molecule ( partial dissociation), and usually a part of the original acid (HA) remains after the process of dissociation; that is why, a dissociation reaction of a weak acid is represented with an arrow of both ways.
As we can see, the acetic acid, citric acid and phosphoric acid are great examples of weak acid. Their pH is higher thanks to its low dissociation, and they can even be eaten in low concentrations.

Main advantages of DDT are the insecticide property and the knoledge about its chemical synthesis.
Explanation:
At that time in 1939 it was discovered that DDT have insecticide properties. It is a useful property because it allows inhibition of insects populations in large areas. Killing insects will reduce the diseases transmitted by them as typhus and malaria. More over you prevent the destruction of the agricultural crops by the harmful insects.
However the synthesis of the molecule was known way back in 1874. From that time it was plenty of time in which chemistry knowledge evolved so the synthesis at kilograms scale was implemented. High quantities of DDT molecule become available for the market so that in 1945 was available as agricultural insecticide.
It was discovered that DDT have bad effects for human health and also over time some insects developed resistance and their were not affected anymore by the molecule.
You may find the chemical structure of DDT in the attached figure.
