strong and weak acids and bases

Postby 405825570 » Wed Dec 01, 2021 1:44 am

This might be a bad question, but do both strong acids and bases have conjugates? thanks

Hey,
Yes, a strong acid would have a weak conjugate base and a strong base would have a weak conjugate acid. This is the conjugate seesaw that we discussed in class.

hi! Also, it's helpful to note that a strong acid has a weak conjugate base and a strong base has a weak conjugate acid, and vice versa.

Strong bases have conjugate acids that are weak and strong acids have conjugate bases that are weak.
