Explain with an example that strong acids have very weak conjugate bases and a strong base have a very weak conjugate acid. |
Answer» HCl + HOH --------> Cl- + H3O+ CH3COOH + HOH --------> CH3COO- + H3O+ HCl is strong acid but chloride ion is a weak base similarly CH3COOH is weak acid but CH3COO- ion is a strong base, these example shows that every strong acid has a weak conjugate base and weak acid has a strong conjugate acid. |
