Chemistry - The Complete Course Series, teaches students quantitative reasoning to solve chemistry problems. The 30 volume series covers all aspects of Chemistry from density to the mole, to molarity, stoichiometry and equilibrium. It demonstrates how to ask meaningful questions and conduct careful investigations to build knowledge of chemical and physical concepts and develop the skills to solve mathematical and scientific problems. Weak acids are acids that are only slightly ionized in aqueous solution. They can be contrasted to the six common strong acids, which are essentially 100% ionized in aqueous solution. In this program several weak acid problems are presented and solved. This volume teaches the best way to compare the relative strengths of weak acids is to compare the numerical value for their ionization constants, K. Most acids are weak acids. That weak base problems can be solved in the same manner as weak acid problems. less
