Hello!

Why does a strong conjugate acid come from a weak base?

Thanks greetings

I think that according to the equation that relates the constant of acidity with the constant of basicity (through the constant of water autoprotolysis) this behavior is deduced. That phrase has "nuances" because if you are working on a solvent that is not water (toluene, hexane, ammonia...) things can change and not everything is so simple.

Thanks

Lets not get too far off track. stick to thinking about how acids and bases behave in water. In aprotic organic solvents pH doesn't really have a meaning, and even in protic ones we usually don't have discussions like that.

Go back, what are the defining properties of a strong acid, and why might a weak base be its counterpart?
