Would anyone be so kind as to share their model with us

shit =/ we had to model that?

EDIT: we drew it.. *shrugs*

To model ionisation of acids you just need to show that strong acids fully break down in water and weak acids such as ethanoic acids partial break down in water (they form a equilibrium)

I.e. HCl(aq) <--> H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) (using balls marked with + and - charges)
CH3COOH (aq) <--> CH3COO-(aq) + H+(aq) (as above and alsp have a 2 balls connected like this ()() marked as CH3COOH to show that only some acids have broken down in water).

Think this the aim of that exercise to show you understanding of the interactions of different acids (weak/strong) when in solution.

need help 4 chem we hve 2 make a model showing
hydrochloric acid and acetic acid any help with how they will look

please help

HCl ionises completely so the model will only show H⁺ and Cl^-.
CH₃COOH only achieves 4% ionisation. For every 24 molecules of CH₃COOH there will be 1 H⁺ and 1 CH₃COO^-.
