Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
In the reactants, acid and base has to be identified and also in the product, conjugate acid and conjugate base has to be identified in the given reaction.
Concept Introduction:
Brønsted-Lowry acid is the one which can donate
When an acid donates a proton, the species formed from acid is known as conjugate base. When a base accepts a proton from acid, the species formed from the base is known as conjugate acid.
