Question
an acid exhibits a 3.2% ionization. is this a strong or weak acid? strong acid! the acid completely dissociates. weak acid! the acid doesnt completely dissociate. its not possible to determine this without the chemical formula of the acid. strong acid! the acid produces h+ ions in solution.
Strong acids completely dissociate (100% ionization), while weak acids only partially dissociate. Since the acid has only 3.2% ionization, it does not completely dissociate, so it is a weak acid.
