Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The products of the given reagents upon dissolving in water are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
When strong acids react with strong bases, the products formed are weak acids and weak bases. The reaction favors the direction of forming products which are weak.
The strongest base that can exist in the acid medium is hydroxide ion and the strongest acid that can exist in water is a hydrogen ion.
