Question

If $HX$ is a weak acid, what particles will be found in a liquid compound which is a non-electrolyte?

Answer 1

1. All the polar or ionic compounds undergo dissociation to produce their respective ions.
2. Given $HX$ is a weak acid most of the acidic compounds undergo dissociation to produce respective ions.
3. $HX$ contains $H^{+}and{X}^{-}$ions when they undergo dissociation.
4. So these ions will be present in the dilute solution of weak acid.
5. So the ions present on $HX$ are $H^{+}and{X}^{-}$. Along with the ions, undissociated HX will also be present in the solution.
