H2SO4 molecules ionize to form H+ ions, but a small fraction of HCO2H
molecules ionize, the concentration of H+ in strong acid is higher

Question 16 15 LQ 05-01

Weak alkali is any substance dissolves in water that will ionize hydroxide ions partly.
For example, the CH3NH2 solution. Equation: CH" NH! (aq) + H! O(l) ⇌ CH" NH" (aq) +
OH 7 (aq)

Since the reaction above is reversible, that is not all CH3NH2 molecules can be ionized in
water to gives CH3NH3+(aq) + OH−(aq) , so CH3NH2 (aq) is in water regarded as weak alkali.
We can connect a battery with two inert electrodes and put the two inert electrodes inside
the CH3NH2 solution and build up the same apparatus with sodium hydroxide.
Make sure that the concentration, volume, temperature, humidity, the battery voltage of the
two experimental sets are equal.
Insert an ammeter in series in both circuit and showing the current. You will find out two sets
of readings are not the same, the experimental set with lower ammeter readings are CH3NH2
solutions because it is party ionized in water, the concentration of mobile ions to conduct
electricity is less than that in sodium hydroxide provided that the concentrations are the
same.
