When a strong acid is added to a weak base and mixed, which of the following would not be produced?
A)conjugate acid
B)conjugate base
C)salt
D)water

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a strong acid reacts with a weak base, the acid donates a proton (H+) to the base, resulting in the formation of a conjugate base of the acid, a conjugate acid of the base, and usually water. A salt is also produced from the cation of the base and the anion of the acid. However, the conjugate base mentioned in option B refers to the base's conjugate, which is not produced in this reaction; instead, the acid's conjugate base is formed.
