Ch. 16 - Strong Acids and Bases

List of strong acids:

HCl, HBr, HI, HNO₃, H₂SO₄, HClO₃, HClO₄

Strong bases:

Group 1 and group 2 hydroxides

Calculating pH of strong acids:

Concentration of acid is concentration of H⁺, then use -log(H⁺)=pH

Calculating pH of strong bases:

Multiply the concentration of the base by the subscript of the hydroxide to find the OH⁻ concentration, then use then use -log(OH⁻)=pOH, pOH + pH = 14 :)

Calculating pH of weak acids and bases:

ICE chart baby and then get concentration of H⁺ or OH⁻ and proceed to log land
