joejacksonriley: A week acid has a relatively strong conjugate base. However, when the conjugate of a weak acid is compared to absolutely strong bases (NaOH, KOH) it is considered weak.
If a weak acid had an absolutely strong base how could it ever exist in equilibrium? The reaction would just go to completion.

I thought the conjugate of a weak acid was a strong base.

Once again, you have made complicated topics very easy to understand as well as demonstrated the reasoning behind it. You have a talent for teaching!

At 1:12, you mention that a "weak acid has a weak conjugate base." I thought that a weak acid has a VERY STRONG conjugate base, and vice-versa?
