Acid-Base Reactions

The driving force of acid-base reactions is the production of water. These reactions also produce a salt composed of a cation from the base and an anion from the acid.

Strong Acids:
Produce H+
Protonate completely
are BrICl
O outnumber H by 2:1

Strong Bases:
Contain OH- anion
disassociate completely
all group 1& 2 metals

Weak acids and bases don't disassociate/protonate completely

  1. I like this post a lot because it simplifies strong/weak acids and bases. It doesn't look as overwhelming as our notes. Next time, maybe include a source to help further explain it! Other than that, this is great!

  3. Marie, your post does a great job simply explaining the results and some components of an acid- base reaction. Although, I was confused with what to do with the strong acids and bases that you included, so a link to a website or a video would have helped with that! Even a simple picture would've been great to complete this post. Overall, it helped me understand this better!

  4. Thank you Marie, condensing the information we learned in class so i could understand the information more easily. I really struggled with this topic so this post was really helpful.
