2. Acid strength - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_strength

   Its conjugate base is the acetate ion with K b = 10 −14 /K a = 5.7 x 10 −10 (from the relationship K a × K b = 10 −14), which certainly does not correspond to a strong base. The conjugate of a weak acid is often a weak base and vice versa.

3. Neutralization (chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutralization_(chemistry)

   Titration curves for addition of a strong base to a weak acid with pK a of 4.85. The curves are labelled with the concentration of the acid. where K w represents the self-dissociation constant of water. Since K w = [H +][OH −], the term ⁠ K w / [H +] ⁠ is equal to [OH −], the concentration of hydroxide ions. At neutralization, T H is zero.

4. Leveling effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leveling_effect

   Strong bases are leveling solvents for acids, weak bases are differentiating solvents for acids. In a leveling solvent, many acids are completely dissociated and are thus of the same strength. All acids tend to become indistinguishable in strength when dissolved in strongly basic solvents owing to the greater affinity of strong bases for protons.

5. Acid–base reaction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_reaction

   In chemistry, an acid–base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base.It can be used to determine pH via titration.Several theoretical frameworks provide alternative conceptions of the reaction mechanisms and their application in solving related problems; these are called the acid–base theories, for example, Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory.

6. HSAB theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSAB_theory

   HSAB is an acronym for "hard and soft (Lewis) acids and bases".HSAB is widely used in chemistry for explaining the stability of compounds, reaction mechanisms and pathways. It assigns the terms 'hard' or 'soft', and 'acid' or 'base' to chemical species.

7. Acid–base titration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_titration

   This can be used for weak bases and strong bases. [8] An example of an acidimetric titration involving a strong base is as follows: Ba(OH) 2 + 2 H + → Ba 2+ + 2 H 2 O. In this case, the strong base (Ba(OH) 2) is neutralized by the acid until all of the base has reacted. This allows the viewer to calculate the concentration of the base from ...

8. Conjugate (acid-base theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_(acid-base_theory)

   On the other hand, if a chemical is a weak acid its conjugate base will not necessarily be strong. Consider that ethanoate, the conjugate base of ethanoic acid, has a base splitting constant (Kb) of about 5.6 × 10 −10, making it a weak base. In order for a species to have a strong conjugate base it has to be a very weak acid, like water.

9. Buffer solution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_solution

   For alkaline buffers, a strong base such as sodium hydroxide may be added. Alternatively, a buffer mixture can be made from a mixture of an acid and its conjugate base. For example, an acetate buffer can be made from a mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate. Similarly, an alkaline buffer can be made from a mixture of the base and its ...
