NEETChemistryIonic Equilibrium
How does the Brönsted-Lowry theory describe the relationship between a strong acid and its conjugate base?
Options
- AA strong acid has the same conjugate base.
- BA strong acid has a weaker conjugate base.
- CA strong acid has no conjugate base.
- DA strong acid has a weak conjugate base.
Correct answer
B. A strong acid has a weaker conjugate base.
Step-by-step solution
In the Brönsted-Lowry theory, if a Brönsted acid is strong, its conjugate base is considered weak, and vice versa.
