Generally inorganic or mineral acid that does not contain carbon are called strong acid.. Example:- (H2SO4), (HCL) Nd acid that contain carbon like acetic acid present in vinegar (CH3COOH), oxalic acid present in tomato (COOH) are weak ones ....
Hi✨ So are we just supposed to memorize which molecules are strong acids/bases and weak acids/bases? Cause I got an exercise asking us to distinguish random molecules and i don’t know how to do it

Acetic acid does not act as a base although it contains OH group because if it release OH group then it becomes less satble means more reactive if it release proton means (H) then it becomes more stable due to conjugation due migration of negative charge oxgen to other there it is week acid but its conjugate base is strong
On adding to water it forms ammonium ion and OH- ions. If it would be an acid then H+ ions will be forming right? Hope you got my point And it does not happen in all cases,if h is there it is an acid it only happens in most cases. There will also be some rare cases like this.
