Option 1 : Statement 1 is correct
The correct answer is 1 i.e. Statement 1 is correct.
Explanation:
- An acid that is completely ionized in water and thus produces a small amount of hydrogen ions is called a weak acid.
- Acetic acid is partially ionized in water, so it is a weak acid.
- Carbonic acid and sulfurous acid are also weak acids because they are partially ionized in water to produce a small amount of hydrogen ions.
- Due to a small amount of hydrogen ions in their solution, weak acids react very quite slowly with other substances (such as metals, metal carbonates and metal hydrogen carbonates, etc).
- Weak acids also have a low electrical conductivity because of the low concentration of hydrogen ions in their solution.
- Thus, all the weak acids are weak electrolytes.
