Reactions That Form Water

This past week in class, we learned about acid/ base reactions. The driving force of these reactions is water, and they always produce a salt and water as products. We also learned about strong and weak acid and bases:

Strong Acids:
-Produe H+
-Protonate completely 
-HCl, HBr, HI
-If oxygens outnumber hydrogens by 2 or more

Strong Bases:
-Contain an OH- anion
-Disassociate completely
-All group 1 and 2 metals and the -OH anion

Weak Acids:
-Don't protonate completely
-Not on the memorized list
-Parent present

Weak Bases:
-Don't disassociate completely
-Not on the memorized list
-Parent present

Here are some websites that I found that tell how to figure out if something is a strong or weak acid or base and some examples: 
-Strong and Weak Bases

Here is a picture of some common acids and bases:

    This was very helpful on understanding what makes acids and bases weak or strong. Also your picture helped see some examples of weak and strong acids and bases.

    Carly, you did a great job explaining this topic on acids and bases. By doing it very simply and organized, I was able to understand it much more than I did before. Your table and links were also a great additional help for me to practice! Thanks for your help!
