Acid and Bases

[Jenny Chau 1I]

On tests will we be expected to remember weak/strong acid and bases or will it be told on the test? I was just wondering because I know a few people who didn't take 14A and therefore don't know what to classify as strong or weak acid or base.

[Sean Wang 1F]

I would assume that we would need to memorize them because in 14A we were expected to memorize them.

I do believe that you need to know the weak/ strong acids and bases or at least know the structures and classes that contribute to making a strong/weak acid or base.

[Hasmik Dis 2F]

I think this should be memorized, it will save you a lot of trouble. Usually H-X acids are strong, such as HCl, while X-OH bases are strong, such as NaOH.

[Sahiti Annadata 3D]

Even though we aren’t being tested on 14A topics, I believe we still need to know which acids are strong and weak for chemical equilibrium and all.

I believe that Dr. Lavelle will review them quickly when we get to them!
