Question

Weak acids tend to be introduced to solutions as molecules (e.g.. HF and HCOOH). Weak bases can be introduced to solution as molecules (e.g., C_5H_5N) or ionic compounds (e.g., K_2SO_4). It is not necessary for a molecule to ionize in order to dissolve in the solution. However, if the weak acid or base is a very soluble ionic compound, complete ionization will occur in water but it will not have a significant effect on the acid-base chemistry of neutralization reactions. If acetic acid and lithium phosphate were added to water, the weak acid and weak base would neutralize each other according to the following molecular equation: Complete the diagram below to depict this titration as a net ionic equation. Drag the appropriate chemical formulas to their respective targets.
