Strong acids dissociate almost completely making H+ ions while strong bases also dissociate completely making OH-
If acid is strong then its conjugate base must be weak, if conjugate base is strong it again accept the H+ ions so acid can neither be strong, similarly if base is strong its conjugate acid must be weak.
b) The conjugate acid of a weak base is a weak acid. When a base accepts a proton to form its conjugate acid, it tends to be a weak acid because it does not easily donate a proton back. This relationship is governed by the principles of acid-base equilibrium.
Strong acids and bases dissociate completely in water. Strong acids produce a pH of less than 3 and form weak conjugate bases. Strong bases produce a pH greater than 10 and form a weak conjugate acid.
NaHCO3 is a weak base, with a conjugate acid of H2CO3+.
Strong Acid + Strong Base ---> Neutral Salt + Water

A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.

Strong Acid + Strong Base ---> Neutral Salt + Water
A weak acid/base will have a stronger conjugate base/acid. The conjugate acids/bases of strong bases/acids are very weak because they have no attraction to protons or hydroxides, which is why the reaction shifts all the way to the right and the Ka/b is large.
The solution at the endpoint of an acid-base titration involving a weak acid and a strong base will be alkaline. This is because the weak acid will have been neutralized by the strong base, resulting in excess hydroxide ions in the solution causing it to be alkaline.
No, H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) is not a base; it is an acid. It is a strong acid that donates protons in aqueous solutions.
For countering a strong acid, a strong base like NaOH, LiOH are required.
The acid-base chemical reaction that is irreversible is the reaction between a strong acid and a strong base.
No, LiCN is not classified as a strong acid-strong base salt. It is the salt of lithium hydroxide (a strong base) and hydrocyanic acid (a weak acid), so it does not produce significant amounts of hydroxide or hydronium ions in solution.
