∙ 13y agoa strong base is a basic chemical compound that is able to deprotonate very weak acids in an acid-base reaction.

∙ 13y agoA strong base is strong because it dissociates 100%
This means it will have a very high Kb value.

In a chemical equation weak acids and weak bases are usually recognizable by the .?
In a chemical equation, weak acids and weak bases are usually recognizable by the _______.
What is the lowest pH to the highest pH?
Lowest pH, strong acids, then weak acids, then salts of strong acids and strong bases, then salts of weak acids and strong bases, then weak bases, then strong bases. All very confusing!
Why are Carboxylic acids considered weak acids?
Because the conjugate bases are unstable the carboxylic acids are weak acids.
In a chemical equation weak acids and weak bases are usually recognizable by the?
double arrow
What is a Chemical compounds that converts strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases?
buffers

Can strong and weak acids and strong and weak bases be determined by using an indicator?
yes
What is a Chemical compounds that converts strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases?
buffers
How was salt named?
How strong or weak the acids or bases are.
Can every strong electrolyte be considered a strong acid?
No. Many strong electrolytes are bases or neutral salts.
What are weak acids or bases that react with strong acids or bases to prevent sharp or sudden changes?
Buffers.
How are strong acids converted to weaker ones?
Buffer systems. They convert strong acids or bases into weak acids or bases.
