1. Using The Bronsted-Lowry Table
Chem. 12

2. Acidic reaction refers to the forward reaction only
Basic reactions refers to the reverse reaction only

4. 100% Dissociation  equally strong acids
 no reverse reaction

5. ↔
 weak acids

6. How do you compare the relative strength of 2 weak acids. i. e
How do you compare the relative strength of 2 weak acids? i.e. Oxalic and phosphoric 2 ways to do it

7. Increasing acid strength therefore oxalic acid is stronger

8. Oxalic acid is stronger because it has a larger Ka value

9. Now lets look at bases.

10. Increasing strength of bases

11. Do not act as bases because reverse reaction is not possible

12. Do not act as acids because reverse reaction is not possible
Strong bases

13. What are the other strong bases you should be aware of
What are the other strong bases you should be aware of? By the way, they are not on your Bronsted-Lowry table.

14. Alkali metal hydroxides
Alkali earth metal hydroxides

15. Knowing how to use your B-L table will make your life easier on test day!
