Strongs Acids and Strong Bases

Strong Acids

Penguins hate, hate, hate nice sun

Perchloric acid

• has a H ofc

• has 1 cl

• chlroic sounds like foruric, so it has four oxygens

Equation: HClO₄

Hydrochloric acid

• shes popular

• everybody knows her

Equation: HCl

Hydrobromic acid

• bromo so br dumbass

• simple as one H and one Br cuz Br is a halogen

Equation: HBr

Hydroiodic acid

• u know the drill another halogen

• What does that mean?? It means one I and one H yep thats right

Equation: HI

Nitric Acid

• N ofc

• H ofc were talking about an acid here

• nitric sounds like trois in french so three oxyegns

Equation: HNO₃

Sulfuric acid

• H ofc, but this time two cuz shes speical

  • 2 H’s because u need to balance out the SO₄^2- charge

  Equation: H₂SO₄

Strong Bases

Liars suck: pain, crain, strain. blameful

Lithium hydroxide

• OH as a 1- charge so it needs one Li + to balance it out

• Equation: LiOH

Sodium Hydroxide

• It needs one Na to balance out the negative charge on OH duh

  Equation: NaOH

Potassium hydroxide

• its basically all the same rules for all the hydroxides

• Equation: KOH

Calcium Hydroxide

• Needs to OH’s since Ca is in second group, cuz it has 2+ charge

• Equation: Ca(OH)₂

Stronium hydroxide

• same rule since Sr is in second group

• Equation: Sr(OH)₂

Barium Hydroxide

• same fricking rule

• Equation: Ba(OH)₂
