acid base pairs

[Andrew Sun 3F]

how come a strong acid is correlated with a weak conjugate base?

[Vanessa_Ong_3F]

It is because the strong acid completely dissociates.

[Tania Peymany 1A]

This is because strong acids completely dissociates and fully gives away its proton to a base. And whwen it does this and becomes a base, it does not want to get a hydrogen back, making it a weak conjugate base.

[Dillon Taing 3H]

A strong acid has a weak conjugate base due to the nature of the acid readily releasing an H+ ion when it dissociates. The corresponding Lewis base would be weak as it doesn't want to lose its H+ ion, which would make the base reassociate.

[Preethika Praveen 2G]

A strong acid completely dissociates and readily gives away a proton to form a base. Therefore, the bond to that H+ is easily broken. Since a bond that is easily broken is hard to form again, the conjugate base forms a weak bond as it wants to accept a proton.

[Allen Lu 2F]

A strong acid is referred to as strong because it will completely dissociate giving away its H+. The proton is then accepted by the conjugate base which is weak because it will not dissociate.
