Re: Weak Acids & Bases
Weak acids and bases are the molecules that do not readily give off or accept protons, for example CH3CH3 or NH3 are weak acids, and I- and HSO4 are weak bases.

Re: Weak Acids & Bases
Some examples of a weak base are ammonia (NH3) and methylamine (CH3NH2) and examples are a weak acid are carbonic acid (H2CO3) and vinegar (C2H4O2).

Re: Weak Acids & Bases
Benzoic acid is also a weak acid and you can remember this because the COOH in benzoic acid is often found in biological molecules and organic acids tend to be weaker.
