Re: weak bases produce acidic solutions?
Salts of weak bases and STRONG acids produce acidic solutions because the conjugate base of the acid is a very weak base while the conjugate acid of the weak base is relatively stronger, so it makes the solution its in acidic.

Weak bases and strong acids produce acidic solutions and vice versa

Re: weak bases produce acidic solutions?
So a strong acid and weak base will produce an acidic solution while a weak acid and strong base will produce a basic solution?
