Is the conjugate base of a strong acid always a spectator ion? Explain.
The conjugate base of a very weak acid is a strong base, and the conjugate base of a strong acid is a weak base. (a) Is Cl ion a strong base or a weak base? (b) Is CN a strong base or a weak base?
The species Cl - is not a good base in aqueous solution. True: This is because Cl - is the conjugate base of a weak acid: False The species Cl - is a good base in aqueous solution because it is the conjugate base of a strong acid. True: This is because Cl - is a good proton donor False. The species Cl - is a good base in aqueous solution because of its high electronegativity: True: This is because water has a stronger attraction for protons than does Cl-.
