Problem about acids
« on: February 10, 2012, 12:30:23 PM »
Just came from a disccusion:
If an bronsted acid donates a proton to water...since the conjugated base would neutralize with the H3O+ (an acid) thus the original acid would be a salt? beacuse it comes from the neutralization of an acid and a base?

it sounds stupid... I know  :'(

No, it will become a Bronsted acid again.
