How do the components of a conjugate acid—base pair differ from one another4? Give an example of a conjugate acid—base pair to illustrate your answer.
Trimethylamine, (CH3)3N, reacts readily with diborane, B2H6. The diborane dissociates to two BH3 fragments, each of which can react with trimethylamine to form a complex, (CH3)3N:BH3. Write an equation for this reaction and interpret it in terms of Lewis acid-base theory.
Mark each of the following statements True or False: a. The conjugate base of a strong acid is always a weak base. b. The conjugate acid of a strong base is always a weak acid. c. The stronger the acid, the weaker its conjugate base, and vice versa.
