Determine if each anion acts as a weak base in solution. For those anions that are basic, write an equation that shows how the anion acts as a base. a. Br- b. ClO- c. CN- d. Cl

and act as weak bases in solution whereas and act as strong base in solution.

Explanation:

Strong acid dissociates to produce it's weak conjugate base.

Weak acid dissociates to produce it's strong conjugate base.

HBr and HCl are strong acids. So, and are weak conjugate bases.

HClO and HCN are weak acids. So, and are strong conjugate bases.

So, and act as weak bases in solution whereas and act as strong base in solution.

Reactions:

the answer is na (sodium)

the answer is d. 74.02
