When equal moles of each reactant are used, which type of reaction will produce a slightly basic solution? strong acid – strong base strong acid – weak base weak acid – strong base none of these are correct.

Weak acid – strong base. A solution of a salt of a weak acid and a strong base will be basic.

For example, NaF is the salt of the strong base NaOH and the weak acid HF.

The conjugate acid of a strong base [OH^(-)] is weak (H_2O), but the conjugate base of a weak acid is strong. It will react with the water to produce hydroxide ions [OH^(-)].

F^(-) + H_2O ⇌ HF + OH^(-)

“Strong acid – strong base” is wrong. The solution will be neutral.

“Strong acid – weak base” is wrong. The solution will be acidic.

periodic trends is an atom that gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase, the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. in general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to right of a certain period.
