Acids and Bases - Strength of Bases Flashcards
1
Q
acid and base strength
A
- strong acids and bases undergo 100% dissociation
- weak acids and bases undergo partial ionization
2
Q
base strength
A
- metal hydroxides
- NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2, Ba(OH)2
3
Q
weak bases
A
- strength of conjugate base is determinant
- CH3NH2(aq) + H2O(l) -> CH3NH3+(aq) + OH-(aq)
- base + acid -> c.a. + c.b.
4
