Strong acid produce weak conjugate base ? (1 Viewer)

Does strong acids produce weak conjugate base ?

and weak acids produce strong conjugate base ?

 

[FCB]

That's correct

No. A strong acid procudes a conjugate base which is very weak, while a weak acid produces a weak conjugate base. Swap them around for bases. This is because a strong acid wants to give away the proton (in B type acids, lewis not in syllabus), and as such the conjugate base does not want to 'accept" the proton. Thus, these types of bases don't generally react (think Cl-). A weak acid does not have the same "urgency" you could say to give away a proton and as such the conjugate base has a slightly larger ability to accept one. In both cases they are still weak, except the strong one produces a super weak one

Wtf? That's what I initially posted LOL

No it wasn't.

STRONG CONJUGATE BASES....are you that fucking dumb? Read your own post before making an idiot of yourself.

wow, wow chill.

I haven't read the part where you stated weak acid producing weak conjugate base


Edit: what about when water acts as an acid. It produces OH- which is a strong conjugate base?

 

[khorne]

Water is an exception, given it's not a base nor acid in itself (as a solvent). It has a ph of 7, so the ions are both strong acids and bases, while water itself is both a super duper weak acid and a super duper weak base.

Hmm okay thanks for clarifying that.

Sorry for nothing reading your post carefully :S
