Acid-base reactions are reactions that form water as a product. The water that is formed as a product is the driving force of these reactions. Along with the production of water, acid-base reactions also produce a "salt", a cation of the base and anion of the acid.
In acid-base reactions, strong acids will produce H+ as a product. Strong acids can also be determined by looking at whether it is HCL, HBr, HI, or if the oxygen's outnumber the hydrogen's by two or more.
Strong bases contain a hydroxide (OH-) anion in the reactants of an acid-base reaction. When any Group 1 or Group 2 metals are with the OH- anion, it is a strong base.
However, when there is a weak acid or base in an acid-base reaction, the weak acid will not protonate completely and the weak base won't completely.
This is helpful in studying characteristics of strong acids and bases
