HELP PLEASE :/ Why do weak acid-weak base reactions not go to completion? There are not enough molecules in solution to react with each other. The conjugate products are much weaker than the original acid and base. Neither a weak acid nor a weak base has a strong tendency to transfer H+ ions. Both weak acids and weak bases have a strong tendency to transfer H+ ions, so they cancel each other out.

Hi Hayatcakes - Weak acids and bases are poor conductors because neither of their solutions contain many ions. Hope this helps!
