When an uncharged weak acid is added to water, a homogeneous equilibrium forms in which aqueous acid molecules, HA(aq), react with liquid water to form aqueous hydronium ions and aqueous anions, A-<span>(aq). The latter are produced when the acid molecules lose H+ ions to water.</span>

Weak acid dissociates partially in water to form hydronium ion and conjugate base of the acid. Since the acid is weak the conjugate base is strong. Acetic acid is a weak acid which dissolves in water to form hydronium ion and acetate ions (conjugate base).  

CH₃COOH + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + CH₃COO⁻

How do you calculate the number of valence electrons in an atom?
gavmur [86]
To find<span> the </span>valence electrons in an atom<span>, identify what group the element is in. An element in group 1A has 1 </span>valence electron<span>. For example, Li is in group 1A, so that means it has one </span>valence electron. If the element is in group 2A, then it has two valence electrons<span>.</span>

Give the nuclear symbol for the isotope of silicon for which a=29? Enter the nuclear symbol for the isotope (e.G., 42he).
quester [9]

The mass number is the summation of number of proton and neutron present in a nucleus of an atom. For the neutral atom the number of positive charge (number of proton) must be equal to the number of electrons. The number of electrons present in an atom is the atomic number of the atom. The standard way to express the mass number (a) and atomic number (m) of a atom (say X) is x^{a}_{m}. Now for silicon number of electron or atomic number is 14. And the mass number (a) given 29. Thus the expression nucleus of silicon will be Si^{29}_{14}
