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).
The acid dissociation constant of benzoic acid is 6.5 x 10^-5. Therefore, the pH of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate is:
pH = -log[Ka]
pH = -log (6.5 x 10^-5)
pH = 4.19
The pH of the benzoic acid solution is 4.19 which is acidic, but a weak acid.

Answer:
0.256 L
Explanation:
We should use the following formula:
concentration (1) × volume (1) = concentration (2) × volume (2)
concentration (1) = 0.82 M NaOCl
volume (1) = ?
concentration (2) = 0.21 M NaOCl
volume (2) = 1 L
volume (1) = [concentration (2) × volume (2)] / concentration (1)
volume (1) = [0.21 / 1] / 0.82 = 0.256 L
Mass of X₂O₇ = 54,9g
2x + 33,6g = 54,9g
2x = 54,9g - 33,6g
2x = 21,3g | :2
x = 10,65g/mol
