Question:

One of the most challenging parts of solving acid–base problems is writing out the correct equation. When a strong acid or a strong base is added to solutions, they are great at what they do and we always react them first. If a strong acid is added to a buffer, what reacts with the H- from the strong acid and what are the products? If a strong base is added to a buffer, what reacts with the OH+ from the strong base and what are the products? Problems involving the reaction of a strong acid or strong base are assumed to be stoichiometry problems and not equilibrium problems. What is assumed when a strong acid or strong base reacts to make it a stoichiometry problem?
