Answer» ONG>Answer:STRONG> The word strong means "reacts 100%". In there's CASE the reaction is with water. A strong acid reacts 100% with water to produce the hydronium ion [MATH]H_3O^+[/math] and the conjugate base of the acid, which is termed very weak meaning it does not REACT with water at all. A strong base reacts with water 100% to produce [math]OH^-[/math] and it's conjugate acid, which is very weak meaning it does not react with water at all. A Weak acid or base will react partially with water to produce the hydronium ion or the hydroxide ion, respectively and the conjugate base and conjugate acid, respectively. These conjugate base and acid are both also weak. |
