Given the Keq values for the following acid–base reactions, identify the strongest acid and the strongest base.
(c) Chemical reaction showing Cl⁻ and HO reacting, with Keq value of 10⁻¹² highlighted, indicating acid-base equilibrium.

검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the acid and base in each reaction. Recall that acids donate protons (H⁺), and bases accept protons.
Use the provided equilibrium constant (K_eq) values to determine the direction of the reaction. A larger K_eq value indicates that the reaction strongly favors the products, meaning the acid on the reactant side is weaker than the conjugate acid on the product side.
Compare the acids in the reactions. The strongest acid will be the one that donates a proton most readily, which corresponds to the acid on the reactant side of the reaction with the smallest K_eq value.
Compare the bases in the reactions. The strongest base will be the one that accepts a proton most readily, which corresponds to the base on the reactant side of the reaction with the largest K_eq value.
Summarize your findings by identifying the strongest acid and the strongest base based on the trends in K_eq values and the acid–base pairs involved.

Acid-Base Equilibrium

Acid-base equilibrium refers to the state where the rates of the forward and reverse reactions of an acid dissociating into its conjugate base and a proton are equal. The equilibrium constant (K_eq) quantifies this balance, with larger K_eq values indicating a stronger tendency for the acid to donate protons, thus identifying stronger acids and bases in a reaction.

Determining Acid/Base Equilibrium

Strength of Acids and Bases

The strength of an acid or base is determined by its ability to donate protons (for acids) or accept protons (for bases). Strong acids completely dissociate in solution, while weak acids only partially dissociate. Similarly, strong bases fully accept protons, whereas weak bases do so only partially. The K_eq values help compare these strengths quantitatively.

Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs

In acid-base reactions, acids and bases exist as conjugate pairs, where the acid donates a proton to become its conjugate base, and the base accepts a proton to become its conjugate acid. Understanding these pairs is crucial for determining the relative strength of acids and bases, as the strength of an acid is inversely related to the strength of its conjugate base.
