Here is a link to a website explains equilibrium reactions and identifying acids and bases in a bronsted Lowry case: http://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/genchem/topicreview/bp/bronsted/bronsted.html
Here is a link explaining the qualities of strong/weak acids/bases: http://www.chemteam.info/AcidBase/Strong-Weak-AcidBase.html
Here is a chart that shows strong acids and their conjugate bases:
Kendall, thanks for the great post! I found both of your links very educational. I like how the first one had many examples, explaining the bronsted definition of an acid and base. The second link was also helpful, as it described the actual modern meaning of an acid to be weak or strong. Your diagram was interesting too. I like how it showed the acids and bases getting stronger and weaker in opposite directions on the scale, showing their contrasting relationship.
ReplyDeleteKendall thanks for this post! Similar to Lilly, I found both your links very helpful in further understanding the Bronsted definition, as I was out of class for that part of the lecture. Also, your second link helped me understand the true and simple differences between the acids and bases that we are learning about. I also didn't realize the contrasts shown in your chart in the strength between the acids and bases, and this helped me understand the relationships in the Bronsted-Lowry equations.
ReplyDeleteThis post was really helpful to me for preparing for the test. I really liked the picture which showed strong acids and their conjugated base pair.
ReplyDeleteI really benefited from the picture you included--that was really helpful. Also, the links you added were super helpful. Thanks for the info!!!
