Which of the following acids is a weak electrolyte-H-2CO-3CH-3COOHNone of the aboveBoth A and B

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

When the acid H2CO3 and CH3COOH are dissolved-xA0-in water-xA0-it undergoes partial dissociation to form the ions H- and HCO-x2212-3 and CH3COO-x2212- ions-Since there is partial dissociation so both are weak acids and hence weak electrolyte-

When the acid H2CO3 and CH3COOH are dissolved in water, it undergoes partial dissociation to form the ions H+ and HCO−3 and CH3COO− ions.Since there is partial dissociation so both are weak acids and hence weak electrolyte.

$H_{2} C O_{3}$
$C H_{3} C O O H$
None of the above
Both A and B

When the acid $H_{2} C O_{3}$ and $C H_{3} C O O H$ are dissolved in water, it undergoes partial dissociation to form the ions $H^{+}$ and $H C O_{3}^{-}$ and $C H_{3} C O O^{-}$ ions.

Since there is partial dissociation so both are weak acids and hence weak electrolyte.
