    What is ##7 \times 7## in base ##7##?

    In base ##7##, only the digits ##0,1,2,3,4,5,6## can be used. So ##7 \times 7 = 49## in base ##10##, but ##49## is a multiple of ##7## seven times, so at the right-most digit position of the answer, I can put down a ##0## and carry a ##7 ## to the next-left digit position. I can't put down ##7##...

    Chemistry How do I know whether a base is strong or not?

    So I know that I can get whether an acid is strong or not from a table where if ##pK_a## < 0 than it is a strong acid, but there is no such table for bases, so how do I determine whether a base is strong or weak? Also.. for metalhydroxides MOH, which will be strong and which are weak bases...

    Chemistry Choosing an appropriate base for deprotonation

    Normally you would deprotonate a ketone alpha carbon with a strong base like KOH or LDA, but in compounds where ester functional groups are also present, this would cause annoying side reactions.
