The driving force of an acid-base reaction is the production of water.This reaction also produces a salt. When getting a net ionic equation, weak acids and bases won't dissociate while strong ones will. To determine strong acids and bases, remember that strong acids have oxygens that outnumber the hydrogens by two or more while strong bases have group 1 and 2 metals with the hydroxide ion. The key to this unit is to memorize the rules so I will study a little every night and do the practice problems on schoology to prepare!
