Document Summary

A strong acid in water is one that reacts completely with water to produce h3o+ Proton donating ability of h3o+ is not as strong as ha. Therefore ha is a stronger acid than h3o+ A weak acid in h2o is one that only partially deprotonates. Proton donating power of h3o+ is stronger than that of ha. Hoac (acetic acid) + h2o(l) -> h3o+ + oac- (acetate) The larger the value for ka the stronger the weak acid. % dissociation = change in concentration/initial concentration x 100% A strong base a- in h2o completely reacts to produce oh- Ch3 (methide) + h2o -> ch4 + oh- H- (hydride) + h2o -> h2 + oh- Nh2 (amide) + h2o -> nh3 + oh- Naoh, koh (alkali metal hydroxide) h2o-- oh- + na+/k+/etc. Oac- + h2o -> oh- + hoac, kb = 5. 68 x 10-10. All acids stronger than the conjugate acid of the solvent have the same acid strength in the solvent.
