Re: Conjugate seesaw
The conjugate seesaw is where if you have a strong base, its conjugate will be a weak acid or if you have a strong acid, its conjugate base will be a weak base. It works the opposite way too, where weak acids will have stronger conjugate bases and weak bases will have stronger conjugate acids.

Re: Conjugate seesaw
The conjugate seesaw is a term describing the relative strength of an acid/base to its conjugate base/acid. The stronger the acid, the weaker its conjugate base. The stronger the base, the weaker its conjugate base.

Re: Conjugate seesaw
The conjugate seesaw is…
(1) when there is a stronger acid, the conjugate base will be weaker.
(2) when there is a stronger base, the conjugate acid will be weaker.
(1) when there is a stronger acid, the conjugate base will be weaker.
(2) when there is a stronger base, the conjugate acid will be weaker.
