Determine if each of the following diagrams represents a strong acid or a weak acid. The acid has the formula HX.

Which of the following is the strongest base?

Which of the following bases will have the weakest conjugate acid?

Determine [OH^–] in each base solution. If the base is weak, indicate the value that [OH^–] is less than.

Predict the direction of the following reaction:

HC₂H₃O₂ (aq)  +  H₂O (liq)  ______________   H₃O⁺ (aq)  +  C₂H₃O₂^– (aq)

Write a balanced equation for the proton transfer reaction between hydrofluoric acid (HF) and ammonia (NH₃). Identify each conjugate acid-base pair, and rewrite the equilibrium arrows to indicate if the forward or reverse reaction is favored.
