Unlike strong acids/bases, weak acids and weak bases do not completely dissociate (separate into ions) at equilibrium in water, so calculating the pH of these solutions requires consideration of a unique ionization constant and equilibrium concentrations.
Why do weak acids not dissociate?
In other words, there could be equilibrium in between non-dissociated acid (HA) (reactant in forward direction because of the ability to donate H+ ion) and conjugate base (A-) (reactant in backward direction because of the instability). That is the reason there is no complete dissociation occurs in weak acids.
Do weak acids dissociate in strong acids?
Strong acids/bases dissociate completely whereas weak acids/bases dissociate partially.
