• Resumen

  • A figure is presented which shows in a comprehensive way the relationships between Brønsted-Lowry acids and their conjugate bases. It shows their interactions with water and quantifies the terms strong, weak, and very weak, showing precisely how these modifiers can be effectively used to indicate the nature of the reaction between any conjugate acid/base and water. It shows that ion hydrolysis is simple acid/base behavior, and it clearly suggests the leveling effect of water on strong acids and bases.
