A weak acid was introduced to a solution. Which of the following accurately describes the condition of the solution after adding the weak acid?
A) The solution would have an increase in H+ with some of the weak acid molecules still intact.
B) The solution would have a decrease in H+ with some of the weak acid molecules still intact.
C) The solution would have an increase in H+ with none of the weak acid molecules still intact.
D) The solution would have a decrease in H+ with none of the weak acid molecules still intact.
Weak Acid
An acid that partially dissociates into its ions in solution, resulting in a less complete release of hydrogen ions.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Weak acids partially dissociate in solution, leading to an increase in H+ concentration (though not all acid molecules dissociate), which means some of the weak acid molecules remain intact.
