Memorizing Acids by name

[chrisdinkel_4E]

Should we memorize all of the strong acids/bases by name? Or are they going to give us the molecular formula?
I can just imagine an easy question that could be asked but not knowing the formula for the acid messes everything up

I think that you should memorize all the strong acids (they are 7: HCl, HBr, HI, HClO3, HClO4, H2SO4, HN03). Strong bases are basically all the metal oxides and metal hydroxides

you should memorize so that you can more easily identify them or so that you can more easily identify a weak acid.

Dont memorize but understand. There are 3 general rules that you can look at that the book describes intensively.
1. The more 0, the stronger the acid
2. The more electronegative the molecule, the more acidic.
3. The easier to break up a bond, the more electronegative and that looks at things like HF vs HCl, where HCl would be stronger because it has a longer bond.
