Weak acid

A weak acid is an acid that does not fully ionize in solution; that is, if the acid was represented by the general formula AH, then in aqueous solution a significant amount of undissolved AH still remains.

HA(aq) leftrightarrow H+(aq) + A-(aq)

The equilibrium concentrations of reactants and products are related by the Acidity constant expression, (Ka): Ka = /.

The greater the value of Ka, the more the formation of H+ is favored, and the lower the pH of the solution.
