In acid base reactions the driving force is the production of water. These reactions form a salt and water as products. A salt can be described as a cation or base and anion of an acid. Some things that affect these reactions are the strength of the acid and base. Strong acids produce hydrogen, and their oxygen's outnumber the hydrogen's by two or more. A strong base would contain -OH, disassociate completely, and are contain group 1 and 2 metals plus the -OH.
