Conjugate acid‐base pairs differ from each other by the presence or absence of a single hydrogen ion (proton). Every acid has a conjugate base, and every base has a conjugate acid

What are Strong Acids?
What are Strong Acids?
Strong acids produce many H+ ions (or H3O+ ions)
Eg. HCl(g) + H2O(l) → H3O+(aq) + Cl‐(aq)
Weak acids produce few H+ ions
Eg. HC2H3O2 (aq) ↔ H+(aq) + C2H3O2‐(aq)
The stronger the acid, _________________________
Polyprotic Acids ____________________________
H2SO4 (aq)
→ H+(aq) + HSO4‐(aq)
4 (aq) →
HSO4‐(aq) → H+(aq) + SO42‐(aq)
What are Strong Bases?
What are Strong Bases?
Strong bases produce many OH‐ ions
Eg. Mg(OH)2 (aq) → Mg2+(aq) + 2 OH‐(aq)
Weak bases produce few OH‐ ions
Eg.
NH2CH3(aq) + H2O(l) ↔ NH3CH3+(aq) + OH‐(aq)
The stronger the base, __________________________
