Describe the reaction of a weak acid and a strong base. What would the pH of the solution be? I will mark brainliest, thanks :)

Because the base is strong, and the acid is weak, the final solution will have a pH greater than seven. This is because the base disassociates more than the acid does. There are more OH- ions than H+ ions.

They would combine to form a salt + water. The pH of the solution would be slightly alkaline ( > 7).

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

This reaction is known as mercuric ion catalyzed hydration of alkynes.

The first step in the reaction is attack of the mercuric ion on the carbon-carbon triple bond, a bridged intermediate is formed. This bridged intermediate is attacked by water molecule to give an organomercury enol. This undergoes keto-enol tautomerism, proton transfer to the keto group yields an oxonium ion, loss of the mercuric ion now gives equilibrium keto and enol forms of the compound. The keto form is favoured over the enol form.
