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).
x= the coefficients in front of the substance in the balanced chemical equation
[H+]= the concentration of hydrogen ions
[A-]= the concentration of the other ion that broke off from the H+
[HA]= the un-disassociated acid concentration
The higher the Ka value, the greater amount of disassociation of the reactants into products. As for acids, they will break down to form H+ ions. The more the H+ ions, the stronger acidity of the solution. Thus since A has the highest Ka value, that represents the strongest acid.
You can determine the Ka value from a number of ways. If equilibrium concentrations are given of a certain acid solution, you can find the proportion of the concentration of ions to the concentration of the remaining HA molecules, using the equation above. Also, pH and KpH can be used in a number of ways. This gets more complicated and depends on the situation, and requires more advanced equations.
Hope this helped a little, its obviously not my best work
Answer: 15.3 carbon atoms
Wax is susceptible to heat. Wax is responds to heat addition. The forces in the wax when heat is added are being broken off and are much lesser as its original state. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.<span />
17, to be neutral it has to have equal number of protons and electrons
