What else can I help you with?
What kind of reaction -SN1 or SN2 or E1 or E2- is expected for secondary haloalkanes with sterically hindered strong bases?
E2 reaction is expected for secondary haloalkanes with sterically hindered strong bases. This is because the strong base can readily abstract a proton from the beta position, leading to the elimination of the leaving group and formation of the alkene product.
What is the difference between strong and weak bases?
Strong bases completely dissociate in water to produce hydroxide ions, while weak bases only partially dissociate to produce hydroxide ions. Strong bases have a higher pH and are more reactive compared to weak bases.
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!
Do strong base has a strong conjugate acid?
No, a strong base does not have a strong conjugate acid. Strong bases typically have weak conjugate acids since the strength of an acid-base pair is inversely related - strong acids have weak conjugate bases, and strong bases have weak conjugate acids.
What do strong bases produce?
Strong bases produce hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution when they dissociate. This results in a high pH level above 7. Strong bases are capable of fully disassociating in water and are considered highly reactive.

E2 reaction is expected for secondary haloalkanes with sterically hindered strong bases. This is because the strong base can readily abstract a proton from the beta position, leading to the elimination of the leaving group and formation of the alkene product.
Can bases be strong or weak?
Yes. There are strong bases such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and weak bases such as ammonia (NH3)
Can every strong electrolyte be considered a strong acid?
No, not all strong electrolytes are strong acids. Strong electrolytes include strong acids, strong bases, and soluble salts. Strong acids are a subset of strong electrolytes that fully dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, leading to a high concentration of ions in solution.
What is the difference between strong and weak bases?
Strong bases completely dissociate in water to produce hydroxide ions, while weak bases only partially dissociate to produce hydroxide ions. Strong bases have a higher pH and are more reactive compared to weak bases.

Do strong bases have a pH below 7?
No. Strong bases wold have a pH above 8 or 9. A pH of 13 would be a very strong base.
Do strong base has a strong conjugate acid?
No, a strong base does not have a strong conjugate acid. Strong bases typically have weak conjugate acids since the strength of an acid-base pair is inversely related - strong acids have weak conjugate bases, and strong bases have weak conjugate acids.
What disables enzymes?
Heat, presence of strong acids or strong bases
What do strong bases produce?
Strong bases produce hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution when they dissociate. This results in a high pH level above 7. Strong bases are capable of fully disassociating in water and are considered highly reactive.
Are strong bases sparingly soluble?
Strong bases are typically highly soluble in water due to their ability to completely dissociate into ions. Substances like sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are examples of strong bases that readily dissolve in water to form hydroxide ions.
How do strong and weak bases dissociate or ionize?
Strong bases dissociate or ionize completely. Weak bases dissociate or ionize only partially. The degree to which they ionize/dissociate is given by the Kb for each weak base.
What are the properties and applications of tert-butoxide as a strong base?
Tert-butoxide is a strong base with properties that make it useful in organic chemistry reactions. It is a bulky base, which means it can deprotonate hindered substrates that other bases cannot. This makes it valuable in reactions where steric hindrance is a concern. Tert-butoxide is commonly used in organic synthesis to promote elimination reactions and deprotonate acidic hydrogens.
