Question:
Which substance(s) is/are a strong enough acid to react almost completely with NaOH? (The {eq}\displaystyle pK_a \ of \ H_2O {/eq} is 15.74.)
Reactivity of Acids and Bases:
A base reacts with an acid to form a conjugate acid, while an acid reacts with a base to assemble a conjugate base. Remember, an acid and base reaction involves protons; acid is a proton donor proton the base is defined as the proton acceptor. These terms can be confusing, but they are the key to understanding acid and base chemistry.
