Among HCl,H2SO4,CH3COOH,___________ is a weak acid.
Dear student,
CH3COOH (Acetic acid) is a weak acid.
Acetic acid is called a monobasic acid because only one of the 4 ‘H’ atoms of the acid is released as H+ ion in solution.
The strength of an acid refers to its ability or tendency to lose a proton (H+). A weak acid is one that partially ionizes (dissociates) in a solution. And acetic acid partially ionizes.
Regards
