### Understanding Weak Acids and Ionization#### Question 13**A concentrated weak acid is best described as which of the following?**Select one:- a. a solution with a low pH- b. a solution where the concentration of unreacted acid particles is high and the relative quantity of hydronium ions is small- c. a solution where the concentration of unreacted acid particles is low compared to the concentration of hydronium ions- d. a solution where the concentration of hydronium ions is large compared to the concentration of unreacted acid particles---#### Question 14**Which of the following is *not* totally ionized when mixed with water?**Select one:- a. HCl- b. HClO4- c. HI- d. HSO3---### Detailed Explanation:#### Concentrated Weak Acids:A concentrated weak acid is characterized by a high concentration of the acid itself, but because it is a weak acid, it does not fully ionize in water. Most of the acid remains unreacted, with only a small proportion forming hydronium ions (H₃O⁺). Therefore, the correct answer to Question 13 is:- **b. a solution where the concentration of unreacted acid particles is high and the relative quantity of hydronium ions is small**#### Ionization in Water:Strong acids are known to completely ionize in water, releasing a large number of hydronium ions. Weak acids do not ionize completely. Out of the options provided in Question 14, HCl (hydrochloric acid), HClO₄ (perchloric acid), and HI (hydroiodic acid) are all strong acids and completely ionize in water. HSO₃⁻ (bisulfite) is the only option that does not totally ionize, making it a weak acid.- **d. HSO3**---These concepts are fundamental in understanding the behavior of acids in solutions, which is crucial for various scientific and industrial applications.
