Which of the following statements about weak acids is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weak acids have a strong affinity for their acidic hydrogens, meaning they do not easily donate H+ ions in solution. This is what makes them "weak" acids, as they partially dissociate in water, unlike strong acids which dissociate completely. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because weak acids do not necessarily contain carbon atoms, their percentage dissociation is typically much lower than 40-60%, and they can be prepared in concentrations other than dilute solutions.
