How about a strong acid + weak base then? I mean, what if the balance of acids goes one way, and the balance of bases goes the other way? Which way to choose then?
Just compare the pKa's of the acid and the conjugate acid. The favored reaction will be the one that results in the higher pKa. More discussion and quizzes on this post - www.masterorganicchemistry.com/2010/09/29/how-to-use-a-pka-table/
THANK you so much for this video and others. love your level of understanding and teaching chemistry.
Wow...I learned a lot in 11 min. Thanx so much!
Glad it was helpful! I invite you to check out membership opportunities awaiting you as well! Check it out here:

is NH3 strong acid or did i just misunderstood?
10:29 "NH2 minus can't deprotonate water"
You wanted to say can't deprotonate hydrogen molecule.
Btw nice movie!
You are right! Thank you for the correction!

I'm in year 4 and want to learn about the periodic table, but I don't understand this much. Can someone explain to me how it works?
