A weak acid is an acid that does not fully ionize in solution; that is, if the acid was represented by the general formula AH, then in aqueous solution a significant amount of undissolved AH still remains.
HA(aq) <math> \leftrightarrow <math> H+(aq) + A-(aq)
The vast majority of acids are weak acids.
